Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.10.31:

`মুরারি’ বৈসযে গুপ্তে ইহার হৃদযে এতেকে `মুরারি-গুপ্ত’ নাম যোগ্য হযে” ॥ ৩১ ॥

`मुरारि’ वैसये गुप्ते इहार हृदये एतेके `मुरारि-गुप्त’ नाम योग्य हये” ॥ ३१ ॥

`murāri’ vaisaye gupte ihāra hṛdaye eteke `murāri-gupta’ nāma yogya haye” || 31 ||

`murari’ vaisaye gupte ihara hrdaye eteke `murari-gupta’ nama yogya haye” (31)

English translation:

(31) “Lord Murāri resides in his heart gupte, or secretly, therefore his name, `Murāri Gupta’ is quite appropriate.”

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Lord Murāri (Śrī Caitanyadeva) always resides gupta-bhāve, or secretly, in the heart of Murāri Gupta, therefore the devotee Murāri is addressed as “Murāri Gupta.” Lord Murāri never resides gupta-bhāve, or secretly, within the bodies of those so-called “Murāris” who are envious of devotional service and who are traversing the road to hell by thinking of themselves as “Murāri Guptas;” they only make a show of Lord Murāri’s presence within their hearts. But actually Lord Murāri remains far from

their hearts while inducing them to hanker after gold, women, and fame. The desire of Śrī Gaurasundara is to chastise such persons. Those who are averse to and bereft of the service of Murāri would rather chew betel nuts themselves than offer them to the Lord. Being controlled by intoxicants, they can never become servants of Murāri Gupta. Those who at present mistakenly accept the author of Amiya Nimāi-carita as “an incarnation of Murāri Gupta” with the evil intention of advertising themselves as “incarnations of Śrī Gaurāṅga” gain nothing but offenses.
