Daily Reading: Caitanya Caritamrita page-69


CC Ādi 2.62

ei-mate nānā-rūpa kare pūrva-pakṣa
tāhāre nirjite bhāgavata-padya dakṣa
Translation: 
In this way their arguments appear in various forms, but the poetry of the Bhāgavatam expertly refutes them all.

CC Ādi 2.63

vadanti tat tattva-vidas
tattvaṁ yaj jñānam advayam
brahmeti paramātmeti
bhagavān iti śabdyate
Translation: 
“Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth say that it is nondual knowledge and is called impersonal Brahman, the localized Paramātmā and the Personality of Godhead.”
Purport: 
This text is from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.2.11).

CC Ādi 2.64

śuna bhāi ei śloka karaha vicāra
eka mukhya-tattva, tina tāhāra pracāra
Translation: 
My dear brothers, kindly listen to the explanation of this verse and consider its meaning: the one original entity is known in His three different features.

CC Ādi 2.65

advaya-jñāna tattva-vastu kṛṣṇera svarūpa
brahma, ātmā, bhagavān — tina tāṅra rūpa
Translation: 
Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself is the one undivided Absolute Truth, the ultimate reality. He manifests Himself in three features — as Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān.
Purport: 
In the verse from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam cited above (Bhāg. 1.2.11), the principal word, bhagavān, indicates the Personality of Godhead, and Brahman and Paramātmā are concomitants deduced from the Absolute Personality, as a government and its ministers are deductions from the supreme executive head. In other words, the principal truth is exhibited in three different phases. The Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Bhagavān), is also known as Brahman and Paramātmā, although all these features are identical.
