যা’র বাহ্য নাহি, তা’র বচনে কি লাজ? নিত্যানন্দ ভাসযে আনন্দ-সিন্ধু-মাঝ ॥ ২৬ ॥
या’र बाह्य नाहि, ता’र वचने कि लाज? नित्यानन्द भासये आनन्द-सिन्धु-माझ ॥ २६ ॥
yā’ra bāhya nāhi, tā’ra vacane ki lāja? nityānanda bhāsaye ānanda-sindhu-mājha || 26 ||
ya’ra bahya nahi, ta’ra vacane ki laja? nityananda bhasaye ananda-sindhu-majha (26)
English translation:
(26) Can anyone’s words embarrass a person who has lost his external consciousness? Nityānanda floated in an ocean of ecstasy.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Can one who is not aware of the external world feel shamed by arbitrary talk? Since Nityānanda Prabhu was merged in an ocean of ecstasy, He was completely aloof from the good and bad of the external world.
