এ দুইযেরে প্রভু যদি অনুগ্রহ করে তবে সে প্রভাব দেখে সকল সংসারে তব হঙ নিত্যানন্দ—চৈতন্যের দাস এ দুইযেরে করাঙ যদি চৈতন্য-প্রকাশ ॥ ৫৬-০৫৭ ॥

ए दुइयेरे प्रभु यदि अनुग्रह करे तबे से प्रभाव देखे सकल संसारे तब हङ नित्यानन्द—चैतन्येर दास ए दुइयेरे कराङ यदि चैतन्य-प्रकाश ॥ ५६-०५७ ॥

e duiyere prabhu yadi anugraha kare tabe se prabhāva dekhe sakala saṃsāre taba haṅa nityānanda—caitanyera dāsa e duiyere karāṅa yadi caitanya-prakāśa || 56-057 ||

e duiyere prabhu yadi anugraha kare tabe se prabhava dekhe sakala samsare taba hana nityananda—caitanyera dasa e duiyere karana yadi caitanya-prakasa (56-057)

English translation:

(56-057) “If the Lord bestows His mercy on these two, then the whole world will know His glories. If I can reveal Lord Caitanya to them, then I, Nityānanda, will be known as Lord Caitanya’s servant.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“Sinful people like Jagāi and Mādhāi are minute spiritual energies. But since that nature is not manifest and material conceptions are prominent, they are unqualified for self-realization. If Śrīman Mahāprabhu mercifully revives their eternal propensities as spiritul parts and parcels, then I will be qualified to be accepted as Caitanya’s servant.”
