Daily Reading: Caitanya Caritamrita page-108


CC Ādi 3.59

pratyakṣa tāṅhāra tapta-kāñcanera dyuti
yāṅhāra chaṭāya nāśe ajñāna-tamastati
Translation: 
One can vividly see His glowing complexion of molten gold, which dispels the darkness of ignorance.

CC Ādi 3.60

jīvera kalmaṣa-tamo nāśa karibāre
aṅga-upāṅga-nāma nānā astra dhare
Translation: 
The sinful life of the living beings results from ignorance. To destroy that ignorance, He has brought various weapons, such as His plenary associates, His devotees and the holy name.

CC Ādi 3.61

bhaktira virodhī karma-dharma vā adharma
tāhāra ’kalmaṣa’ nāma, sei mahā-tamaḥ
Translation: 
The greatest ignorance consists of activities, whether religious or irreligious, that are opposed to devotional service. They are to be known as sins [kalmaṣa].

CC Ādi 3.62

bāhu tuli’ hari bali’ prema-dṛṣṭye cāya
kariyā kalmaṣa nāśa premete bhāsāya

Translation: 
Raising His arms, chanting the holy name and looking upon all with deep love, He drives away all sins and floods everyone with love of Godhead.


CC Ādi 3.63

smitālokaḥ śokaṁ harati jagatāṁ yasya parito
girāṁ tu prārambhaḥ kuśala-paṭalīṁ pallavayati
padālambhaḥ kaṁ vā praṇayati na hi prema-nivahaṁ
sa devaś caitanyākṛtir atitarāṁ naḥ kṛpayatu
Translation: 
“May the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the form of Lord Śrī Caitanya bestow His causeless mercy upon us. His smiling glance at once drives away all the bereavements of the world, and His very words enliven the auspicious creepers of devotion by expanding their leaves. Taking shelter of His lotus feet invokes transcendental love of God at once.”
Purport: 
This verse is Dvitīya Śrī Caitanyāṣṭaka 8, from the Stava-mālā of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī.
