kṛṣṇo devaḥ kali-yuga-bhavaḿ lokam ālokya sarvaṁ
pāpāsaktaṁ samajani kṛpā-sindhu-caitanya-mūrtiḥ
tasmin yeṣāṁ na bhavati sadā kṛṣṇa-buddhir narāṇāṁ
dhik tān dhik tān dhig iti dhig iti vyāharen nu mṛdaṅgaḥ
"Seeing that all the souls in Kali-yuga are addicted to sinful activities, Lord Krishna appeared as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the ocean of mercy. However, to those people who do not see Mahāprabhu as Lord Krishna, does the mṛdaṅga not criticise them by saying — dhik tān, dhik tān dhik dhik?"
— (Śrī-śaci-nandanāṣṭakam by Srila Narahari Sarakāra, Verse 9)
[Import: The mṛdaṅga produces the sounds dhik tān. Another meaning of the term 'dhik' is 'fie' and another meaning of the word 'tān' is 'upon them'. So 'dhik tān' means 'fie upon them'. Thus, Sri Narahari Sarakara says that even the mṛdaṅga calls out 'dhik tān dhik tān' to those who do not accept Sri Chaitanya Mahāprabhu as Krishna."]
