Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 7.27
জগৎ ডুবিল, জীবের হৈল বীজ নাশ ।
তাহা দেখি’ পাঁচ জনের পরম উল্লাস ॥ ২৭ ॥
jagat ḍubila, jīvera haila bīja nāśa
tāhā dekhi’ pāṅca janera parama ullāsa
When the five members of the Pañca-tattva saw the entire world drowned in love of Godhead and the seed of material enjoyment in the living entities completely destroyed, they all became exceedingly happy.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Every living entity belongs to the Lord’s marginal potency and has a natural tendency to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Yet the seed of material enjoyment is also within each one.
Watered by material nature, this seed grows into a tree of material entanglement. Its enjoyments bring the three material miseries.
As love of Godhead spreads, the seeds of material enjoyment become powerless. Seeing this made the five members of the Pañca-tattva exceedingly happy.
