Verse 2.5.120
Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.5.120:
ইহাতে যে নিত্যানন্দ-বলরাম প্রতি ভেদ-দৃষ্টি হেন করে, সেই মূঢ-মতি ॥ ১২০ ॥
इहाते ये नित्यानन्द-बलराम प्रति भेद-दृष्टि हेन करे, सेइ मूढ-मति ॥ १२० ॥
ihāte ye nityānanda-balarāma prati bheda-dṛṣṭi hena kare, sei mūḍha-mati || 120 ||
ihate ye nityananda-balarama prati bheda-drsti hena kare, sei mudha-mati (120)
English translation:
(120) Therefore anyone who discrminates between Nityānanda and Balarāma is certainly a fool.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu is directly Lord Balarāma. It is to be understood that the intelligence of one who considers Nityānanda Prabhu as different from Balarāma is polluted by the influence of the illusory energy.
