Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.23.531:
অদ্বৈত-চরণে মোর এই নমস্কার তান প্রিয তাহে মতি রহুক আমার ॥ ৫৩১ ॥
अद्वैत-चरणे मोर एइ नमस्कार तान प्रिय ताहे मति रहुक आमार ॥ ५३१ ॥
advaita-caraṇe mora ei namaskāra tāna priya tāhe mati rahuka āmāra || 531 ||
advaita-carane mora ei namaskara tana priya tahe mati rahuka amara (531)
English translation:
(531) I offer my obeisances at the feet of Advaita. May my mind remain attached to those who are dear to Him.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Those who commit offenses at the lotus feet of Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita while claiming subordination to Advaita Ācārya can never be actual servants of Śrī Advaita; they are simply sinful. The author desires that his
mind may always be fixed on Śrī Advaita Prabhu’s actual servants, who glorify devotees headed by Gadādhara. If one wants evidence of who is eligible to actually see Śrī Caitanyadeva, then he should see who is happy to hear topics of Śrī Caitanya. Such a person is certainly qualified to engage in the service of Śrī Caitanya.
