sei-kāle nijālaya, uṭhiyā advaita rāya,
nṛtya kare ānandita-mane
haridāse lañā saṅge, huṅkāra-kīrtana-raṅge
kene nāce, keha nāhi jāne
sei-kāle — at that time; nija-ālaya — in His own house; uṭhiyā — standing; advaita — Advaita Ācārya; rāya — the rich man; nṛtya — dancing; kare — performs; ānandita — with joyful; mane — mind; haridāse — Ṭhākura Haridāsa; lañā — taking; saṅge — with Him; huṅkāra — loudly; kīrtana — saṅkīrtana; raṅge — performing; kene — why; nāce — dances; keha nāhi — no one; jāne — knows.
At that time Śrī Advaita Ācārya Prabhu, in His own house at Śāntipura, was dancing in a pleasing mood. Taking Haridāsa Ṭhākura with Him, He danced and loudly chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa. But why they were dancing, no one could understand.
It is understood that Advaita Prabhu, at that time, was in His own paternal house at Śāntipura. Haridāsa Ṭhākura frequently used to meet Him. Coincidentally, therefore, he was also there, and upon the birth of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu both of them immediately began to dance. But no one in Śāntipura could understand why those two saintly persons were dancing.
