ছন্ন হৈলেন সবে, শিক্ষা নাহি স্ফুরে “উঠ ভাই” বলি’ মাত্র কান্দে উচ্চৈঃ-স্বরে ॥ ৭০ ॥
छन्न हैलेन सबे, शिक्षा नाहि स्फुरे “उठ भाइ” बलि’ मात्र कान्दे उच्चैः-स्वरे ॥ ७० ॥
channa hailena sabe, śikṣā nāhi sphure “uṭha bhāi” bali’ mātra kānde uccaiḥ-svare || 70 ||
channa hailena sabe, siksa nahi sphure “utha bhai” bali’ matra kande uccaih-svare (70)
English translation:
(70) Because they were so confused they could not remember the Lord’s instructions. They simply cried loudly, “O brother, please get up!”
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word channa means “mad,” “forgetful,” “unintelligent,” or “ignorant.”
The word śikṣā refers to the instruction, “Send Hanumān to bring medicine and hold it before My nose,” that was given by Lord Nityānanda Prabhu (see verse 68).
