### CC Adi 6.108

> স্বমাধুর্য আস্বাদিতে করেন যতন ।\
> ভক্তভাব বিনু নহে তাহা আস্বাদন ॥১০৮॥

> svā-mādhurya āsvādite karena yatana\
> bhakta-bhāva vinu nahe tāhā āsvādana

*svā-mādhurya*—the sweetness of Himself; *āsvādite*—to taste; *karena yatana*—makes endeavors; *bhakta-bhāva*—the emotion of being a devotee; *vinu*—without; *nahe*—there is not; *tāhā*—that; *āsvādana*—tasting.

**He tries to taste His own sweetness, but He cannot do so without accepting the emotions of a devotee.**

Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa wanted to relish the transcendental mellow of a devotee, and therefore He accepted the role of a devotee by appearing as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
