আইর চিত্তের ইচ্ছা জানি’ গৌরচন্দ্র সেই-মত তাঙ্হারে দিলেন পরানন্দ যত-ক্ষণ প্রভু করে হরি-সঙ্কীর্তন আইর না থাকে কিছু বাহ্য তত-ক্ষণ ॥ ১৩১-১৩২ ॥

आइर चित्तेर इच्छा जानि’ गौरचन्द्र सेइ-मत ताङ्हारे दिलेन परानन्द यत-क्षण प्रभु करे हरि-सङ्कीर्तन आइर ना थाके किछु बाह्य तत-क्षण ॥ १३१-१३२ ॥

āira cittera icchā jāni’ gauracandra sei-mata tāṅhāre dilena parānanda yata-kṣaṇa prabhu kare hari-saṅkīrtana āira nā thāke kichu bāhya tata-kṣaṇa || 131-132 ||

aira cittera iccha jani’ gauracandra sei-mata tanhare dilena parananda yata-ksana prabhu kare hari-sankirtana aira na thake kichu bahya tata-ksana (131-132)

English translation:

(131-132) Realizing the inner desire of mother Śacī, Gauracandra awarded her appropriate spiritual happiness. As long as the Lord was engaged in congregational chanting of the names of Hari, mother Śacī remained devoid of external consciousness.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Since mother Śacī was distressed when the Lord fell to the ground,

Gaurasundara had her become absorbed in ecstasy during hari-saṅkīrtana and stole away her external consciousness. Then Śacī felt happiness devoid of all distress.
