যবনের কি দায, যে ব্রাহ্মণ সজ্জন তারা যত অপরাধ করে অনুক্ষণ অপরাধ হৈলে দুই লোকে দুঃখ পায স্বপ্নেহো অভক্ত পাপিষ্ঠেরে নাশিখায ॥ ১৫৪-১৫৫ ॥
यवनेर कि दाय, ये ब्राह्मण सज्जन तारा यत अपराध करे अनुक्षण अपराध हैले दुइ लोके दुःख पाय स्वप्नेहो अभक्त पापिष्ठेरे नाशिखाय ॥ १५४-१५५ ॥
yavanera ki dāya, ye brāhmaṇa sajjana tārā yata aparādha kare anukṣaṇa aparādha haile dui loke duḥkha pāya svapneho abhakta pāpiṣṭhere nāśikhāya || 154-155 ||
yavanera ki daya, ye brahmana sajjana tara yata aparadha kare anuksana aparadha haile dui loke duhkha paya svapneho abhakta papisthere nasikhaya (154-155)
English translation:
(154-155) What to speak of yavanas, even respectable brāhmaṇas who constantly commit offenses attain miseries in this life and in the next as a result of their offenses. Yet the Lord does not teach such sinful nondevotees in their dreams.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The Supreme Lord always remains aloof from either rewarding or punishing the nondevotees. But since He is the well-wisher of the devotees, He rectifies His dear devotee by punishing him in his dream.
