paṇá¸itera gaurÄá¹…ga-prema bujhana nÄ yÄya
'pratijñÄ', 'Å›rÄ«-kṛṣṇa-sevÄ' chÄá¸ila tṛṇa-prÄya
paṇá¸itera - of GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita; gaurÄá¹…ga-prema - the love for ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; bujhana - understanding; nÄ yÄya - is not possible; pratijÃ±Ä - a vow; Å›rÄ«-kṛṣṇa-sevÄ - the service of the Lord; chÄá¸ila - gave up; tṛṇa-prÄya - almost like straw.
Just to get ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s association, GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita gave up his life’s vow to engage in GopÄ«nÄtha’s service. This kind of loving affection can be understood only by very confidential devotees. Ordinarily, no one can understand its purport.
