English translation:

(60-061) “If persons who previously took bath in the Ganges with their clothes on when they touched the shadow of these two consider themselves as purified as having taken bath in the Ganges by seeing them, then My name will remembered.”

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“Religious persons attached to morality think that by touching even the shadow of a sinner one should take bath in the Ganges with one’s clothes on. When after obtaining the mercy of Śrīman Mahāprabhu the character of these two is purified, the piety of taking bath in the Ganges will be automatically obtained by seeing such transformed sinless persons. When this is realized, My name will be successful.”
