ধরিযা ধরিযা পুন আলিঙ্গন করে ননীর পুতলী যেন মিলায শরীরে এই-মত পুত্র-সঙ্গে বুলে সর্ব-ঠাই প্রাণ হৈলা নিত্যানন্দ, শরীর হাডাই ॥ ৭৪-০৭৫ ॥
धरिया धरिया पुन आलिङ्गन करे ननीर पुतली येन मिलाय शरीरे एइ-मत पुत्र-सङ्गे बुले सर्व-ठाइ प्राण हैला नित्यानन्द, शरीर हाडाइ ॥ ७४-०७५ ॥
dhariyā dhariyā puna āliṅgana kare nanīra putalī yena milāya śarīre ei-mata putra-saṅge bule sarva-ṭhāi prāṇa hailā nityānanda, śarīra hāḍāi || 74-075 ||
dhariya dhariya puna alingana kare nanira putali yena milaya sarire ei-mata putra-sange bule sarva-thai prana haila nityananda, sarira hadai (74-075)
English translation:
(74-075) As Hāḍāi Paṇḍita repeatedly embraced Him, the soft-as-butter, delicate body of Nityānanda would merge in his body. In this way, Hāḍāi Paṇḍita went everywhere accompanied by his son. It seemed Hāḍāi Paṇḍita was the body and Nityānanda was the life air.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The father traveled everywhere with his son, and he would always keep Him on his lap. Just as the body and life airs are inseparable as one unit, Hāḍāi Paṇḍita, the father of Nityānanda, was like the body and his son was like the life airs within the body.
