English translation:

(440-442) To display His love for His devotees, Śrī Śacīnandana suddenly picked up that iron waterpot. Mahāprabhu then drank water from that pot in His own ecstasy. Who had the power to stop Him?

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrīdhara exclaimed, “I’m finished! I’m finished! He has come to my house to kill me.”

Mahāprabhu happily drank water from Śrīdhara’s old iron pot. On seeing Gaurasundara take service without asking, poor Śrīdhara blamed his fortune, which was the result of his poverty, and said, “I could not properly welcome Śrī Gaurasundara, therefore He has forcibly drunk water from my broken waterpot to kill me—to inflict my heart with distress.”
