প্রভু কেনে ছাডে, যার হেন অনুরাগ? বিষ্ণু-বৈষ্ণবের এই অচিন্ত্য-প্রভাব ॥ ১০০ ॥
प्रभु केने छाडे, यार हेन अनुराग? विष्णु-वैष्णवेर एइ अचिन्त्य-प्रभाव ॥ १०० ॥
prabhu kene chāḍe, yāra hena anurāga? viṣṇu-vaiṣṇavera ei acintya-prabhāva || 100 ||
prabhu kene chade, yara hena anuraga? visnu-vaisnavera ei acintya-prabhava (100)
English translation:
(100) Why does the Lord leave someone who is so attached to Him? This is the inconceivable authority of Lord Viṣṇu and the Vaiṣṇavas.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
One may question in this regard, that, being affectionate to His devotees, how did Lord Nityānanda ignore His father’s attachment for Him? In answer to this it can be said that the potency of Lord Viṣṇu and the Vaiṣṇavas is incomparable. Their prowess is immeasurable by human calculation.
