English translation:

(168-170) “Let all the sinful people who are proud of their education, wealth, high birth, and austerities and those who place obstacles in the path of Your devotees and Your devotional service burn to death, and let all others, including the dog-eaters, dance while singing Your holy names and qualities.” Hearing Advaita’s statement, the Lord roared

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

loudly and said, “Whatever You say will be fulfilled.”

“Pride born of education, pride born of wealth, pride born of high birth, and pride born of austerities all originate from the false ego, which is the source of all inauspiciousness. Only those unfortunate envious people who are ignorant of the glories of the devotees and the characteristics of devotional service are puffed-up with the pride of their respective education, wealth, high birth, and austerities. They put obstacles on the path of the devotees and their devotional service, so their hearts are naturally inclined towards sinful activities.

“Let sinful people burn to death with envy on seeing the devotees from all classes of this world and their extraordinary devotional service. And let Me have the pleasure of seeing the envious proud persons’ hearts burn on seeing the enthusiastic dancing of the dog-eaters and other condemned and neglected persons who joyfully identify themselves as followers of the path of prema-bhakti.” Lord Gaurasundara approved these statements of Advaita.
