Verse 97 of 214
Cc Madhya 3.97

তোরে নিমন্ত্রণ করিঽ পাইনু তার ফল তোর জাতিকুল নাহি, সহজে পাগল

तोरे निमन्त्रण करिऽ पाइनु तार फल तोर जातिकुल नाहि, सहजे पागल

tore nimantraṇa kari' pāinu tāra phala tora jāti-kula nāhi, sahaje pāgala

Translation

Advaita Ācārya jokingly said: "My dear Nityānanda, I invited You, and indeed I have received the results. You have no fixed caste or dynasty. By nature You are a madman.

Purport

The words sahaje pāgala ("by nature a madman") indicate that Nityānanda Prabhu was transcendentally situated on the paramahaṁsa stage. Because He always remembered Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa and Their service, this was transcendental madness. Śrī Advaita Ācārya was pointing out this fact.
