ডুবিলা চাঞ্চল্য-রসে প্রভু বিশ্বম্ভর সংহতি চপল যত দ্বিজের কোঙর ॥ ৪২ ॥
डुबिला चाञ्चल्य-रसे प्रभु विश्वम्भर संहति चपल यत द्विजेर कोङर ॥ ४२ ॥
ḍubilā cāñcalya-rase prabhu viśvambhara saṃhati capala yata dvijera koṅara || 42 ||
dubila cancalya-rase prabhu visvambhara samhati capala yata dvijera konara (42)

(42) Lord Viśvambhara drowned in the mood of a restless child as He sported with other restless brāhmaṇa boys.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word saṃhati means “society,” “community,” or “a gathering of people,” but in this verse it means “along with.” The word koṅara is a corruption of the word kumāra, or “male children.”
