Verse 1
No one has the power to know everything about the shoreless ocean of Lord Caitanyacandra's pastimes. That is the essence of this book.
Verse 2
My Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Truth. Even the scriptures cannot approach Him. Who has the power to know the limit of His pastimes?
Verse 3
Why do the fools study the scriptures? They will never understand the limit of Lord Caitanya's pastimes.
Verse 4
What scripture can find the limit of the limitless? Hearing the words, "Kṛṣṇa is ruled by the scriptures," I smile and laugh.
Verse 5
By His own wish, dark Lord Kṛṣṇa has now become fair. Bringing His spiritual world, He descended to Navadvīpa.
Verse 6
When He desires to deliver the conditioned souls, Lord Kṛṣṇa comes with His associates to the earth.
Verse 7
When Lord Caitanya descended to Navadvīpa, Śrī Jaya and Vijaya came and became His enemies.
Verse 8
Many times in the past they had descended to this world as demons. Now they took birth as paṇḍitas learned in the scriptures.
Verse 9
Speaking from the Smṛti and Tarka śāstras, they became Lord Caitanya enemies. They struggled against Him.
Verse 10
Moment after moment all the people of Navadvīpa made Lord Kṛṣṇa's pastimes sweeter and sweeter.
Verse 11
I know that these enemies of the Lord, enemies born in a brāhmaṇa family, made Lord Caitanya's pastimes sweeter and more glorious.
Verse 12
I bow down before the feet of all Lord Caitanya's associates, friends or enemies.
Verse 13
Please be merciful to this servant. Please make Bhaktivinoda's heart deeply devoted to Lord Caitanya.
