বাহ্য নাহি অদ্বৈতের, কি করিব কাচ? ভ্রূকুটি করিযা বুলে শান্তিপুর-নাথ ॥ ৩৫ ॥
बाह्य नाहि अद्वैतेर, कि करिब काच? भ्रूकुटि करिया बुले शान्तिपुर-नाथ ॥ ३५ ॥
bāhya nāhi advaitera, ki kariba kāca? bhrūkuṭi kariyā bule śāntipura-nātha || 35 ||
bahya nahi advaitera, ki kariba kaca? bhrukuti kariya bule santipura-natha (35)
English translation:
(35) Advaita had no external consciousness. What need did He have for a costume? The Lord of Śāntipura wandered around with His eyebrows in a frown.
