হেন মতে শিশু-ভাবে হরি-সঙ্কীর্তন করাযেন প্রভু, নাহি বুঝে কোন জন ॥ ৯২ ॥
हेन मते शिशु-भावे हरि-सङ्कीर्तन करायेन प्रभु, नाहि बुझे कोन जन ॥ ९२ ॥
hena mate śiśu-bhāve hari-saṅkīrtana karāyena prabhu, nāhi bujhe kona jana || 92 ||
hena mate sisu-bhave hari-sankirtana karayena prabhu, nahi bujhe kona jana (92)
English translation:
(92) In this way no one could understand how the Lord as a child induced others to chant the holy names.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
In His childhood pastimes, Nimāi cleverly induced people to engage in the congregational chanting of the holy names of Hari. Ordinary people could not understand His tricks.
