অনন্ত ব্রহ্মাণ্ডে কীর্তি গাইব ইহান আ-বিপ্র এ শিশুরে করিবে প্রণাম ॥ ২১ ॥
अनन्त ब्रह्माण्डे कीर्ति गाइब इहान आ-विप्र ए शिशुरे करिबे प्रणाम ॥ २१ ॥
ananta brahmāṇḍe kīrti gāiba ihāna ā-vipra e śiśure karibe praṇāma || 21 ||
ananta brahmande kirti gaiba ihana a-vipra e sisure karibe pranama (21)
English translation:
(21) “His glories will be sung in innumerable universes, and everyone,
including brāhmaṇas, will offer respects to this child.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word ihāna means “His.” Brāhmaṇas are the spiritual masters of all other varṇas—kṣatriyas, vaiśyas, śūdras, and antyajas, or mlecchas. Such brāhmaṇas will also offer obeisances to this child, and the entire universe will become maddened by the fragrance of His fame.
