Bengali text, Devanagari and Unicode transliteration of verse 3.10.45:
কীর্তন করিতে যেন তুম্বুরু নারদ একা প্রভু নাচাযেন—কি আর সম্পদ্ ॥ ৪৫ ॥
कीर्तन करिते येन तुम्बुरु नारद एका प्रभु नाचायेन—कि आर सम्पद् ॥ ४५ ॥
kīrtana karite yena tumburu nārada ekā prabhu nācāyena—ki āra sampad || 45 ||
kirtana karite yena tumburu narada eka prabhu nacayena—ki ara sampad (45)
English translation:
(45) Svarūpa Dāmodara would induce the Lord to dance by performing kīrtana as nicely as Nārada Muni sings accompanied by his stringed instrument [or a celestial singer] known as Tumburu. What could be more glorious?
