ए-सब लीलार कभु नाहि परिच्छेद `आविर्भाव, तिरोभाव’—एइ कहे वेद ॥ २८२ ॥

e-saba līlāra kabhu nāhi pariccheda `āvirbhāva, tirobhāva’—ei kahe veda || 282 ||

e-saba lilara kabhu nahi pariccheda `avirbhava, tirobhava’—ei kahe veda (282)

English translation:

(282) Although the Vedas describe the Lord’s “appearance” and “disappearance,” there is actually no end to His pastimes.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The variegated pastimes of Śrī Gaurasundara are not like the ordinary activities of a living entity who is forced to accept the fruits of his karma. Since the activities of the Lord are eternal, one should not consider that simply because they appear and disappear they are under the clutches of material time. It is stated in the Gopāla-tāpanī, Uttara-khaṇḍa: āvirbhāvā-tirobhāvā svapade tiṣṭhati—“Although the Lord appears and disappears, He eternally resides in Goloka.”
