अलक्षित-आवेश बुझन नाहि याय ध्यान-सुखे परिपूर्ण हासये सदाय ॥ १७८ ॥
alakṣita-āveśa bujhana nāhi yāya dhyāna-sukhe paripūrṇa hāsaye sadāya || 178 ||
alaksita-avesa bujhana nahi yaya dhyana-sukhe paripurna hasaye sadaya (178)
English translation:
(178) No one could understand His internal mood. His was absorbed in happiness from His meditation and continually smiled.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Unless one sees Nityānanda Prabhu with service-inclined eyes, one will never understand His mood. Externally He was constantly smiling, and internally He was always absorbed in the happiness of Śrī Caitanya’s service.
