কোন্ দিগে দণ্ড কমণ্ডলু বা পাডিলা নিজ-প্রেমে বৈকুণ্ঠের পতি মত্ত হৈলা ॥ ১২ ॥
कोन् दिगे दण्ड कमण्डलु वा पाडिला निज-प्रेमे वैकुण्ठेर पति मत्त हैला ॥ १२ ॥
kon dige daṇḍa kamaṇḍalu vā pāḍilā nija-preme vaikuṇṭhera pati matta hailā || 12 ||
kon dige danda kamandalu va padila nija-preme vaikunthera pati matta haila (12)

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Being intoxicated with His own kṛṣṇa-prema, svayam-rūpa Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya displayed indifference towards the symbols of the renounced order of life such as the daṇḍa (staff) and kamaṇḍalu (waterpot).
