### CC Antya 3.15

> পণ্ডিত হঞা মনে কেনে বিচার না কর ?\
> রাণ্ডী ব্রাহ্মণীর বালকে প্রীতি কেনে কর ? ॥ ১৫ ॥

> paṇḍita hañā mane kene vicāra nā kara?\
> rāṇḍī brāhmaṇīra bālake prīti kene kara?

*paṇḍita hañā*—being a learned teacher; *mane*—in the mind; *kene*—why; *vicāra nā kara*—do You not consider; *rāṇḍī brāhmaṇīra*—of a widowed wife of a *brāhmaṇa*; *bālake*—unto the son; *prīti*—affection; *kene kara*—why do You show.

**"Dear Lord, You are a learned teacher. Why then don't You consider that this boy is the son of a widowed brāhmaṇī? Why are You so affectionate to him?**
