Text 1

caitanya-candrera līlā samudra apāra
bujhite śakati nāhi ei kathā sāra

No one has the power to know everything about the shoreless ocean of Lord Caitanyacandra’s pastimes. That is the essence of this book.

śāstrera agamya tattwa śrī-kṛṣṇa āmāra
tāṅra līlā anta bujhe śakati kāhāra

My Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Truth. Even the scriptures cannot approach Him. Who has the power to know the limit of His pastimes?

tabe mūrkha-jana keno śāstra bicāriyā
gaura-līlā nāhi māne anta nā pāiyā

Why do the fools study the scriptures? They will never understand the limit of Lord Caitanya’s pastimes.

anantera anta āche kona śāstra gāya
śāstrādhīna kṛṣṇa iha śuni’ hāsi pāya

What scripture can find the limit of the limitless? Hearing the words, Kṛṣṇa is ruled by the scriptures, I smile and laugh.
