e bujhi manuṣya nahe śri-viśvambhara! māyā-rūpe kṛṣṇa vā janmilā mora ghara!
TRANSLATION
“It seems that Śrī Viśvambhara is not an ordinary human being! Perhaps Lord Kṛṣṇa has appeared by His internal potency as a
human being in our house!
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
In this verse the word māyā-rūpe refers to the Supreme Lord Gaura- Kṛṣṇa’s eternal humanlike form, manifested by His internal potency yogamāyā. In the Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta (Pūrva 413, 414) it is stated: “In many places the word māyā refers to the Lord’s internal potency. The internal potency of the Lord is eternal and is known as māyā.” In the Catur-veda-śikhā-śruti, Madhvācārya has stated: ato māyāmayaṃ viṣṇuṃ pravadanti manīṣiṇaḥ: “The body accepted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is called māyāmaya.”
