এই-মত রঙ্গ করে বৈকুণ্ঠের রায কে তাঙ্রে জানিতে পারে, যদি না জানায ॥ ১৪১ ॥
एइ-मत रङ्ग करे वैकुण्ठेर राय के ताङ्रे जानिते पारे, यदि ना जानाय ॥ १४१ ॥
ei-mata raṅga kare vaikuṇṭhera rāya ke tāṅre jānite pāre, yadi nā jānāya || 141 ||
ei-mata ranga kare vaikunthera raya ke tanre janite pare, yadi na janaya (141)
English translation:
(141) In this way the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha performed amazing pastimes. Who can understand those pastimes unless the Lord reveals them?
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word raṅga means “to enjoy pastimes.” For an explanation of the second line of this verse, one may refer to the prayers of Lord Brahmā in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.29).
