এই ত’ `সচল জগন্নাথ’ লোকে বলে হেন নাহি যে প্রভুরে দেখিযা না ভোলে ॥ ১৫৯ ॥

एइ त’ `सचल जगन्नाथ’ लोके बले हेन नाहि ये प्रभुरे देखिया ना भोले ॥ १५९ ॥

ei ta’ `sacala jagannātha’ loke bale hena nāhi ye prabhure dekhiyā nā bhole || 159 ||

ei ta’ `sacala jagannatha’ loke bale hena nahi ye prabhure dekhiya na bhole (159)

English translation:

(159) They would say, “Here is the moving Jagannātha.” There was no one who was not bewildered on seeing the Lord.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Lord Jagannātha, the Absolute Person appearing in wood, is stationary. Lord Gaurasundara is a moving Jagannātha. By directly seeing the Supreme Lord, everyone forgets about the material enjoyment of this mortal world.
