পুরী ধ্যানপর, দামোদরের কীর্তন ন্যাসি-রূপে ন্যাসি-দেহে বাহু দুই জন ॥ ৪৯ ॥

पुरी ध्यानपर, दामोदरेर कीर्तन न्यासि-रूपे न्यासि-देहे बाहु दुइ जन ॥ ४९ ॥

purī dhyānapara, dāmodarera kīrtana nyāsi-rūpe nyāsi-dehe bāhu dui jana || 49 ||

puri dhyanapara, damodarera kirtana nyasi-rupe nyasi-dehe bahu dui jana (49)

(49) Paramānanda Purī was always engaged in meditation, and Śrī Svarūpa was always engaged in chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā- mantra. In this way these two sannyāsīs were like the arms of Lord Caitanya.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Dāmodara Svarūpa was fond of performing kīrtana, and Paramānanda Purī was renounced and engaged in worshiping the Lord through meditation. In the sannyāsa body of Lord Gaurasundara, these two were like His arms.
