śrīvāsa kahena, — kene kaha viparīta
kṛpā-mūlye cāri bhāi ha-i tomāra krīta

 śrīvāsa kahena - Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura replied; kene - why; kaha viparīta - do You speak just the opposite; kṛpā-mūlye - by the price of Your mercy; cāri bhāi - we four brothers; ha-i - become; tomāra - of You; krīta - purchased.

Śrīvāsa then replied to the Lord, “Why are You speaking in a contradictory way? Rather, we four brothers have been purchased by Your mercy.”
