‘dunhara mukhe krsna-nama kariche nartana
ei-dui ‘adhama’ nahe, haya ‘sarvottama’
SYNONYMS
dunhara mukhe—in the mouths of both; krsna-néma—the holy name of Lord
Krsna; kariche—is doing; nartana—dancing; ei-dui—both of them; adhama
nahe—not fallen; haya—are; sarva-uttama—the most exalted.
TRANSLATION
Vallabha Bhattacarya admitted, ‘Since these two are constantly chanting
the holy name of Krsna, how can they be untouchable? On the contrary, they
are most exalted.”’
PURPORT
Vallabha Bhattacarya’s admission of the brothers’ exalted position should serve
as a lesson to one who is falsely proud of his position as a brahmana. Sometimes
so-called brahmanas do not recognize our European and American disciples as
devotees or brahmanas, and some brahmanas are so proud that they do not allow
them to enter temples. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu herein gives a great lesson. Al-
though Vallabha Bhattacarya was a great authority on brahmanism and a learned
scholar, he admitted that those who chant the Lord’s holy name are bona fide
brahmanas and Vaisnavas and are therefore exalted.
