এই সুখ লাগিঽ আমি করিলুঙ্সন্ন্যাস! আমার ঽসর্বনাশঽ—তোমাসবার ঽপরিহাসঽ

एइ सुख लागिऽ आमि करिलुङ्सन्न्यास! आमार ऽसर्वनाशऽ—तोमासबार ऽपरिहासऽ

ei sukha lāgi' āmi kariluṅ sannyāsa! āmāra 'sarva-nāśa'—tomā-sabāra 'parihāsa'

Synonyms

eithis; sukhahappiness; lāgi'for; āmiI; kariluṅ sannyāsahave taken to the renounced order; āmāra sarva-nāśaMy ruination; tomā-sabāraof all of you; parihāsajoking..

Translation

"Have I taken sannyāsa for such happiness? Accepting this oil would bring My ruination, and all of you would laugh.

Purport

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu declared Himself a strict sannyāsī. A sannyāsī is not supposed to take help from anyone. Retaining a masseur to give Him massages would indicate His dependence on others. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to follow very strictly the principle of not accepting anyone's help for His bodily comfort.
