### CC Antya 12.85

> কাষ্ঠের পুতলী যেন কুহকে নাচায় ।\
> ঈশ্বর-চরিত্র কিছু বুঝন না যায় ॥৮৫॥

> kāṣṭhera putalī yena kuhake nācāya\
> īśvara-caritra kichu bujhana nā yāya

*kāṣṭhera*—made of wood; *putalī*—doll; *yena*—as; *kuhake*—a magician; *nācāya*—causes to dance; *īśvara-caritra*—the characteristic of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; *kichu bujhana nā yāya*—no one can understand.

**As a wooden doll dances to the will of a puppeteer, everything is accomplished by the will of the Lord. Who can understand the characteristics of the Supreme Personality of Godhead?**
