nityānanda kahe — tumi advaita-ācārya
‘advaita-siddhānte’ bādhe śuddha-bhakti-kārya
‘advaita-siddhānte’ bādhe śuddha-bhakti-kārya
Word by word
nityānanda kahe — Śrīla Nityānanda Prabhu said; tumi — You; advaita-ācārya — Advaita Ācārya, or a teacher of impersonal monism; advaita-siddhānte — in that monistic conclusion; bādhe — is greatly hindered; śuddha-bhakti-kārya — the matter of pure devotional service.
Translation
Nityānanda Prabhu immediately refuted Śrīla Advaita Ācārya, saying, “You are a teacher of impersonal monism, and the monistic conclusion is a great hindrance to progressive, pure devotional service.”
