Daily Reading: Caitanya Caritamrita page-103



tapta-hema-sama-kānti, prakāṇḍa śarīra
nava-megha jini kaṇṭha-dhvani ye gambhīra

The luster of His expansive body resembles molten gold. The deep sound of His voice conquers the thundering of newly assembled clouds.
dairghya-vistāre yei āpanāra hāta
cāri hasta haya 'mahā-puruṣa' vikhyāta

One who measures four cubits in height and in breadth by his own hand is celebrated as a great personality.
'nyagrodha-parimaṇḍala' haya tāṅra nāma
nyagrodha-parimaṇḍala-tanu caitanya guṇa-dhāma

Such a person is called nyagrodha-parimaṇḍala. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who personifies all good qualities, has the body of a nyagrodha-parimaṇḍala.
No one other than the Supreme Lord Himself, who has engaged the conditioned souls by His own illusory energy, can possess these bodily features. These features certainly indicate an incarnation of Viṣṇu and no one else.
