Daily Reading: Caitanya Caritamrita page-68


CC Ādi 2.58

ataeva brahma-vākye — paravyoma-nārāyaṇa
teṅho kṛṣṇera vilāsa — ei tattva-vivaraṇa
Translation: 
Therefore according to the authority of Brahmā, the Nārāyaṇa who is the predominating Deity in the transcendental world is but the vilāsa feature of Kṛṣṇa. This has now been conclusively proved.


CC Ādi 2.59

ei śloka tattva-lakṣaṇa bhāgavata-sāra
paribhāṣā-rūpe ihāra sarvatrādhikāra
Translation: 
The truth indicated in this verse [text 30] is the essence of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. This conclusion, through synonyms, applies everywhere.


CC Ādi 2.60

brahma, ātmā, bhagavān — kṛṣṇera vihāra
e artha nā jāni’ mūrkha artha kare āra
Translation: 
Not knowing that Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān are all features of Kṛṣṇa, foolish scholars speculate in various ways.


CC Ādi 2.61

avatārī nārāyaṇa, kṛṣṇa avatāra
teṅha catur-bhuja, iṅha manuṣya-ākāra
Translation: 
Because Nārāyaṇa has four hands whereas Kṛṣṇa looks just like a man, they say that Nārāyaṇa is the original God whereas Kṛṣṇa is but an incarnation.
Purport: 
Some scholars argue that because Nārāyaṇa has four hands whereas Śrī Kṛṣṇa has only two, Nārāyaṇa is the original Personality of Godhead and Kṛṣṇa is His incarnation. Such unintelligent scholars do not understand the features of the Absolute.
