দোহাতিযা ঠেঙ্গা পাডে গৃহের উপরে হেন প্রাণ নাহি কা’রো যে নিষেধ করে ॥ ১৩৯ ॥
दोहातिया ठेङ्गा पाडे गृहेर उपरे हेन प्राण नाहि का’रो ये निषेध करे ॥ १३९ ॥
dohātiyā ṭheṅgā pāḍe gṛhera upare hena prāṇa nāhi kā’ro ye niṣedha kare || 139 ||
dohatiya thenga pade grhera upare hena prana nahi ka’ro ye nisedha kare (139)
English translation:
(139) Holding a stick in His two hands, He began striking the house. No one dared to restrain Him.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The phrase dohātiyā ṭheṅgā pāḍe indicates that Nimāi held a stick in His two hands and started beating. Dohātiyā means “with two hands,” ṭheṅgā comes from the word daṇḍa, which means “stick,” and pāḍe comes from the Sanskrit root paḍā, which means “to hit” or “to beat.”
