(59) “I have no good qualities. I am a fallen outcaste. How can I possibly describe Your glories?
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“O Lord, how will I be able to describe Your pastimes? I am neither a high-class nor middle-class person in society; I am simply fallen. I am not enriched with any material qualities. I am bereft of all good qualities. I do not belong to any of the Āryan castes. Therefore I have no qualification whatsoever to describe Your qualities.”
