(245-246) “If I glorify Haridāsa for a hundred years with a hundred mouths I

would still not reach the end of his glories. You are all fortunate, for because of you I received an opportunity to glorify Haridāsa.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The snake charmer, who was expert in controlling snakes through mantra, said, “All of you are very fortunate, for because of your inquires I was able to speak and reveal some of the glories of the Lord’s devotee. If I sing the glories of the transcendental qualities of Ṭhākura Haridāsa for one hundred years with one hundred mouths, I would not finish.”
