> tāṅra ājñā lañā likhi yāhāte kalyāṇa

*vṛndāvana-dāsera*—of Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura; *pāda-padma*—lotus feet; *kari'*—doing; *dhyāna*—meditation; *tāṅra*—his; *ājñā*—order; *lañā*—receiving; *likhi*—I write; *yāhāte*—in which permission; *kalyāṇa*—all auspiciousness.

**I took permission from Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura by praying at his lotus feet, and upon receiving his order I have attempted to write this auspicious literature.**

Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī took permission not only from the Vaiṣṇavas and Madana-mohana but also from Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura, who is understood to be the Vyāsa of the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
