Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 2.28.53:
দণ্ডে দণ্ডে যত স্নেহ করিলা আমারে আমি কোটী-কল্পে ও নারিব শোধিবারে ॥ ৫৩ ॥
दण्डे दण्डे यत स्नेह करिला आमारे आमि कोटी-कल्पे ओ नारिब शोधिबारे ॥ ५३ ॥
daṇḍe daṇḍe yata sneha karilā āmāre āmi koṭī-kalpe o nāriba śodhibāre || 53 ||
dande dande yata sneha karila amare ami koti-kalpe o nariba sodhibare (53)
English translation:
(53) “The amount of affection you have shown Me at every moment is more than I can repay in millions of kalpas.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
At the time of departure Śrī Gaurasundara said to His mother, “Apart from serving Me, you have not done anything for your own happiness. Therefore I will not be able to repay My debt to you even in millions of kalpas.”
The eternal Śrī Gaurasundara never leaves His eternal mother. That is
why Śrī Śacīdevī, who the shelter of transcendental vātsalya-rasa, is the shelter of Śrī Gaurasundara’s vātsalya-rasa in His eternal unmanifest pastimes. She never leaves His association for even a moment.
