প্রভুর না স্ফুরে কৃষ্ণ-ব্যতিরেকে আন শব্দ-মাত্রে কৃষ্ণ-ভক্তি করযে ব্যাখ্যান ॥ ৩২৪ ॥
प्रभुर ना स्फुरे कृष्ण-व्यतिरेके आन शब्द-मात्रे कृष्ण-भक्ति करये व्याख्यान ॥ ३२४ ॥
prabhura nā sphure kṛṣṇa-vyatireke āna śabda-mātre kṛṣṇa-bhakti karaye vyākhyāna || 324 ||
prabhura na sphure krsna-vyatireke ana sabda-matre krsna-bhakti karaye vyakhyana (324)
English translation:
(324) The Lord’s explanations did not deal with anything that was not related to Kṛṣṇa. He explained every word in relation to Kṛṣṇa’s devotional service.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Gaurasundara explained every word through the completely spiritual, perfectly pure, eternally liberated, and most important vidvad-rūḍhi as being related to devotional service. With His tongue that was attached to glorifying Kṛṣṇa, He would not explain any word as having a meaning not related to Kṛṣṇa.
