এই ত' সন্ন্যাসীর তেজ দেখি ব্রহ্মসম ।
শূদ্রে আলিঙ্গিয়া কেনে করেন ক্রন্দন ॥ ২৬ ॥

ei ta' sannyasira teja dekhi brahma-sama

sudre aliṅgiya kene karena krandana

SYNONYMS

ei ta'-this indeed; sannyasira-of the sannyasi, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; teja-bodily effulgence; dekhi-we see; brahma-sama-exactly like Brahman; sudre-a sudra, or worker; aliṅgiya-embracing; kene-why; karena-does; krandana-crying.

TRANSLATION

These brahmanas began to think, "We can see that this sannyasi has a luster like the effulgence of Brahman, but how is it He is crying upon embracing a sudra, a member of the fourth caste in the social order?"
