TEXT 126
prabhu
bale,—"jänoìjänoì sei dui beta khanda khanda karimu äile mora hethà"
The Lord
said, "I know these two fellows. If they come here I will cut them to
pieces."
nityänanda
bale,—"khanda khanda kara tumi se dui thäkite kothä' nä yäiba ami
Nityänanda
said, "You may cut them to pieces, but I will not go out as long as they
are there.
When
Mahäprabhu said that He would cut Jagäi and Mädhäi to pieces, Nityänanda
replied, "I will not be able to follow Your order as long as they are
alive."

"A
pious person naturally chants the name of Krsna, but these two do not know
anything other than sinful activities. If You deliver these two by awarding
them devotional service, then I will know that You are Patita-pävana, the
deliverer of the fallen.
"Pious
persons naturally chant the names of Krsna, but these two are not candidates
for accepting any good instructions and are only interested in sinful
activities. If You can induce these two to chant the name of Govinda, then the
glories of Your name, Patita-pävana, will be protected and Your words will
prove meaningful."
TEXT 131

advaita bale,—"kona citra nahe madyapera ucita—madyapa-saìga haye
tina
mätoyäla-saìga ekatra ucita naisthika haiyä kene tumi tära bhita?
Advaita
smiled and said, "This is not at all astonishing, for drunkards should
associate with other drunkards. It befitting that the three drunkards were
together. But, being a celibate, why were you there?
After
informing Advaita Prabhu about Nityänanda's various rest- less activities,
Haridäsa brought up the topics of Jagäi and Mädhäi and said that Nityananda
became an object of the two drunkards' anger when He tried to preach Krsna's
instructions to them. "Today we were able to save our lives from the hands
of those two rogues simply by Your mercy." In reply to this, Advaita
Prabhu said, "O Haridäsa, Çréla Nityananda Prabhu is intoxicated from
drinking the the liquor of love for Krsna, whereas Jagäi and Mädhäi are intoxi-
cated from drinking ordinary wine. Therefore it is befitting that the three
associate together. Since you are attached to the Supreme Lord, you should not
go near them."
