### CC Adi 9.16

> মধ্যমূল পরমানন্দ পুরী মহাধীর ।\
> অষ্ট দিকে অষ্ট মূল বৃক্ষ কৈল স্থির ॥১৬॥

> madhya-mūla paramānanda purī mahā-dhīra\
> aṣṭa dike aṣṭa mūla vṛkṣa kaila sthira

*madhya-mūla*—the middle root; *paramānanda purī*—of the name Paramānanda Purī; *mahā-dhīra*—most sober; *aṣṭa dike*—in the eight directions; *aṣṭa mūla*—eight roots; *vṛkṣa*—the tree; *kaila sthira*—fixed.

**With the sober and grave Paramānanda Purī as the central root and the other eight roots in the eight directions, the tree of Caitanya Mahāprabhu stood firmly.**
