ভূমির উপর বসি' নিজ-নখে ভূমি লিখে ।
অশ্রু-গঙ্গা নেত্রে বহে, কিছুই না দেখে ॥ ৩৬ ॥
bhumira upara vasi' nija-nakhe bhumi likhe
asru-gaṅga netre vahe, kichui na dekhe
bhumira upara-on the ground; vasi'-sitting down; nija-nakhe-with His nails; bhumi likhe-marked the ground; asru-gaṅga-a flow of tears like the Ganges; netre-in the eyes; vahe-flows; kichui-anything; na dekhe-could not see.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu sat down on the ground and began to mark it with His nails. He was blinded by tears, which flowed from His eyes like the Ganges.
