শুনি’ ভক্তগণে কহে সক্রোধ বচনে ।
কৃষ্ণ-নাম-গুণ ছাড়ি, কি কর কীর্তনে ॥ ২৭০ ॥

Text

śuni’ bhakta-gaṇe kahe sa-krodha vacane
kṛṣṇa-nāma-guṇa chāḍi, ki kara kīrtane

Synonyms

śuni’ — hearing this; bhakta-gaṇe — to all the devotees; kahe — the Lord says; sa-krodha vacane — talking in an angry mood; kṛṣṇa-nāma-guṇa chāḍi — leaving aside the transcendental qualities and the name of the Lord; ki kara kīrtane — what kind of chanting are you performing.

Translation

Not liking the chanting of His transcendental qualities, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu chastised them as if He were angry. “What kind of chanting is this?” He asked. “Are you leaving aside the chanting of the holy name of the Lord?”
