### CC Adi 16.33

> প্রভু কহে, ব্যাকরণ পড়াই — অভিমান করি ।\
> শিষ্যেতে না বুঝে, আমি বুঝাইতে নারি ॥৩৩॥

> prabhu kahe, vyākaraṇa paḍāi—abhimāna kari\
> śiṣyete nā bujhe, āmi bujhāite nāri

*prabhu kahe*—the Lord replied; *vyākaraṇa paḍāi*—yes, I teach grammar; *abhimāna kari*—I am supposed to do so; *śiṣyete*—amongst My disciples; *nā*—do not; *bujhe*—understand; *āmi*—I also; *bujhāite*—to make them understand; *nāri*—am not able.

**The Lord said, "Yes, I am known as a teacher of grammar, but factually I cannot impress My students with grammatical knowledge, nor can they understand Me very well.**
