Daily Reading: Caitanya Caritamrita page-98


CC Ādi 3.27

santv avatārā bahavaḥ paṅkaja-nābhasya sarvato-bhadrāḥ
kṛṣṇād anyaḥ ko vā latāsv api prema-do bhavati
Translation: 
“ ‘There may be many all-auspicious incarnations of the Personality of Godhead, but who other than Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa can bestow love of God upon the surrendered souls?’
Purport: 
This quotation from the writings of Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura is found in the Laghu-bhāgavatāmṛta (1.5.37).

CC Ādi 3.28

tāhāte āpana bhakta-gaṇa kari’ saṅge
pṛthivīte avatari’ karimu nānā raṅge
Translation: 
“Therefore in the company of My devotees I shall appear on earth and perform various colorful pastimes.”

CC Ādi 3.29

eta bhāvi’ kali-kāle prathama sandhyāya
avatīrṇa hailā kṛṣṇa āpani nadīyāya
Translation: 
Thinking thus, the Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Himself, descended at Nadia early in the Age of Kali.
Purport: 
The prathama-sandhyā is the beginning of the age. According to astronomical calculation, the age is divided into twelve parts. The first of these twelve divisions is known as the prathama-sandhyā. The prathama-sandhyā and śeṣa-sandhyā, the last division of the preceding age, form the junction of the two ages. According to the Sūrya-siddhānta, the prathama-sandhyā of Kali-yuga lasts 36,000 solar years. Lord Caitanya appeared in the prathama-sandhyā after 4,586 solar years of Kali-yuga had passed.

CC Ādi 3.30

caitanya-siṁhera navadvīpe avatāra
siṁha-grīva, siṁha-vīrya, siṁhera huṅkāra
Translation: 
Thus the lionlike Lord Caitanya has appeared in Navadvīpa. He has the shoulders of a lion, the powers of a lion, and the loud voice of a lion.
