English translation:

(63-066) In this village lived a brāhmaṇa named Hāḍāi Paṇḍita, who was greatly renounced and full of compassion. His chaste wife’s name was Padmāvatī. She was a great Vaiṣṇavī and the mother of the universe. Both the brāhmaṇa and his wife were most magnanimous. In their house, Nityānanda took birth. Lord Nityānanda was the eldest of their sons. On seeing all His auspicious symptoms, one’s eyes were satiated.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

In that village of Ekacakrā lived a magnanimous renounced brāhmaṇa named Hāḍāi Paṇḍita. His chaste wife, named Padmāvatī-devī, was the mother of the universe. She was profusely invested with Lord Viṣṇu’s energies. Among their few sons, Lord Nityānanda was the eldest.
