Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.18.223:
এত পরিহারে ও যে পাপী নিন্দা করে তবে লাথি মারোঙ্ তার শিরের উপরে ॥ ২২৩ ॥
एत परिहारे ओ ये पापी निन्दा करे तबे लाथि मारोङ् तार शिरेर उपरे ॥ २२३ ॥
eta parihāre o ye pāpī nindā kare tabe lāthi māroṅ tāra śirera upare || 223 ||
eta parihare o ye papi ninda kare tabe lathi maron tara sirera upare (223)
English translation:
(223) Therefore I kick the head of any sinful person who disregards the glories of Lord Nityānanda and dares to criticize Him.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Those who are sinful-minded because of their previous misdeeds cannot understand the truth about Śrī Nityānanda-Baladeva or His transcendental activities, and thus they blaspheme Him. Topics of the author’s kicking them on their heads have been mentioned to reveal that the conceptions of such abominable sinful persons are extremely disgusting and contemptible. By receiving such chastisement from a Vaiṣṇava, the good fortune of those who are averse to the service of Hari is awakened, but ordinary foolish people cannot understand this.
