Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Oṃ Viṣṇupāda Śrīla Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda has written:

gala-vastra kṛtāṅjali vaiṣṇava-nikaṭe dante tṛṇa kari’ dāṅḍāiba niṣkapaṭe

kāṅdiyā kāṅdiyā jānāiba duḥkha-grāma saṃsāra-anala haite māgiba viśrāma

śuniyā āmāra duḥkha vaiṣṇava ṭhākura āmā lāgi’ kṛṣṇe āvedibena pracura

vaiṣṇavera āvedane kṛṣṇa dayāmaya e-hena pāmara prati habena sadaya

“Without duplicity I will approach a Vaiṣṇava with straw between my teeth, with folded hands, and with a cloth hanging from my neck. I will cry and reveal to him my miserable condition. I will beg him for relief from the fire of material existence. After hearing about my miserable condition, the Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura will profusely appeal to Kṛṣṇa on my behalf. By his appeal, the most merciful Kṛṣṇa will become compassionate towards this sinner.”
