येन गाय अजामिल-उद्धार पुराणे साक्षाते देखुन एबे ए तिन भुवने” ॥ ६९ ॥
yena gāya ajāmila-uddhāra purāṇe sākṣāte dekhuna ebe e tina bhuvane” || 69 ||
yena gaya ajamila-uddhara purane saksate dekhuna ebe e tina bhuvane” (69)
English translation:
(69) “Just as the Purāṇas sing about the deliverance of Ajāmila, now let the three worlds directly see such pastimes.”
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word tri-bhuvana refers to the six upper planetary systems, the seven lower planetary systems, and the earth. The pastime of Jagāi and
Mādhāi’s deliverance at Śrī Navadvīpa-dhāma in this material world is not simply a scriptural narration like the topic concerning Ajāmila that is recorded in the Purāṇas such as Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, nor is it a past incident of this ordinary world; rather, such activities are found even now in the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya.
