Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.1.371-372:

অধ্যযন এই সে—সকল-শাস্ত্র-সার তবে যে না লৈ’—দোষ আমা সবাকার মূলে যে বাখান’ তুমি, জ্ঞাতব্য সে-ই সে তাহাতে না লয চিত্ত নিজ-কর্ম-দোষে” ॥ ৩৭১-৩৭২ ॥

अध्ययन एइ से—सकल-शास्त्र-सार तबे ये ना लै’—दोष आमा सबाकार मूले ये वाखान’ तुमि, ज्ञातव्य से-इ से ताहाते ना लय चित्त निज-कर्म-दोषे” ॥ ३७१-३७२ ॥

adhyayana ei se—sakala-śāstra-sāra tabe ye nā lai’—doṣa āmā sabākāra mūle ye vākhāna’ tumi, jñātavya se-i se tāhāte nā laya citta nija-karma-doṣe” || 371-372 ||

adhyayana ei se—sakala-sastra-sara tabe ye na lai’—dosa ama sabakara mule ye vakhana’ tumi, jnatavya se-i se tahate na laya citta nija-karma-dose” (371-372)

English translation:

(371-372) “This is real study and the essence of all scriptures, and it is our fault if we do not accept it. Whatever You have explained is fundamental truth and the only knowledge worthy of the name. It is due to our own misdeeds that we do not accept it.”

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“Although the only aim, intention, and purport of all scriptures is to understand Kṛṣṇa, due to our own offenses we do not accept Your scriptural explanations based on Kṛṣṇa. Actually our only goal is to realize the meaning of words in the way You explain and have explained, but due to the fault of misfortune our minds are incapable of grasping the true purport of the essence of all scriptures as explained by You.”
