yavane o prabhu dekhi’ kare bada prita sarva-bhuta-krpaluta prabhura carita (62)

(62) Even the Yavanas felt love for the Lord, for the Lord’s characteristic is to show mercy to all living entities.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The natural envious propensity of the Yavanas, who are envious of the Hindus, was not directed towards the Lord, rather it transformed into pure affection. Gaurahari exhibited special magnanimity towards everyone.
