### CC Adi 9.26

> মূলস্কন্ধের শাখা আর উপশাখাগণে ।\
> লাগিলা যে প্রেমফল, — অমৃতকে জিনে ॥২৬॥

> mūla-skandhera śākhā āra upaśākhā-gaṇe\
> lāgilā ye prema-phala,—amṛtake jine

*mūla-skandhera*—of the chief trunk; *śākhā*—branches; *āra*—and; *upaśākhā-gaṇe*—sub-branches; *lāgilā*—as it grew; *ye*—that; *prema-phala*—the fruit of love; *amṛtake jine*—such a fruit conquers nectar.

**Since Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu was the original trunk, the taste of the fruits that grew on the branches and sub-branches surpassed the taste of nectar.**
