Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.19.111:
ভক্তি-হীন হৈলে এ-মত বুদ্ধি হয নিন্দকের পূজাশিব কভু নাহি লয ॥ ১১১ ॥
भक्ति-हीन हैले ए-मत बुद्धि हय निन्दकेर पूजाशिव कभु नाहि लय ॥ १११ ॥
bhakti-hīna haile e-mata buddhi haya nindakera pūjāśiva kabhu nāhi laya || 111 ||
bhakti-hina haile e-mata buddhi haya nindakera pujasiva kabhu nahi laya (111)
English translation:
(111) If one is devoid of devotional service, this type of mentality develops. Lord Śiva never accepts the worship of a blasphemer.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Since living entities who have not awakened to devotional service, which is the eternal propensity of the soul, are attached to the performance of ritualistic activities like Viśvarūpa-kṣaura, they cannot understand the sweetness of the devotional service preached by Śrī Caitanyadeva.
Sadāśiva, the Lord of Kāśī, never accepts the worship of those who blaspheme Vaiṣṇavas.
