কাহারে না করে নিন্দা, `কৃষ্ণ কৃষ্ণ’ বলে অজয চৈতন্য সেই জিনিবেক হেলে ॥ ৩১২ ॥
काहारे ना करे निन्दा, `कृष्ण कृष्ण’ बले अजय चैतन्य सेइ जिनिबेक हेले ॥ ३१२ ॥
kāhāre nā kare nindā, `kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa’ bale ajaya caitanya sei jinibeka hele || 312 ||
kahare na kare ninda, `krsna krsna’ bale ajaya caitanya sei jinibeka hele (312)
English translation:
(312) One who chants the names of Kṛṣṇa without blaspheming anyone will easily conquer the unconquerable Lord Caitanya.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Śrī Caitanyadeva is unattainable through the material knowledge of proud, bewildered living entities. One who constantly chants the names of Kṛṣṇa without offending others can easily control the unconquerable Śrī Caitanyadeva with his love. In the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.14.3) it is stated:
jñāne prayāsam udapāsya namanta eva jīvanti san-mukharitāṃ bhavadīya-vārtām sthāne sthitāḥśruti-gatāṃ tanu-vāṅ-manobhir ye prāyaśo ‘jita jito ‘py asi tais tri-lokyām
“Those who, even while remaining situated in their established social positions, throw away the process of speculative knowledge and with their body, words and mind offer all respects to descriptions of Your personality and activities, dedicating their lives to these narrations, which are vibrated by You personally and by Your pure devotees, certainly conquer Your Lordship, although You are otherwise unconquerable by anyone within the three worlds.”
