> bhāgavate kṛṣṇa-līlā varṇilā vedavyāsa\
> caitanya-līlāte vyāsa—vṛndāvana dāsa

*bhāgavate*—in the *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam*; *kṛṣṇa-līlā*—the pastimes of Lord Kṛṣṇa; *varṇilā*—described; *veda-vyāsa*—Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva; *caitanya-līlāte*—in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya; *vyāsa*—Vedavyāsa; *vṛndāvanadāsa*—Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura.

**Śrīla Vyāsadeva described the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. The Vyāsa of the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu was Vṛndāvana dāsa.**

Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura was an incarnation of Vedavyāsa and also a friendly cowherd boy named Kusumāpīḍa in *kṛṣṇa-līlā.* In other words, the author of *Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata,* Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura, the son of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura's niece Nārāyaṇī, was a combined incarnation of Vedavyāsa and the cowherd boy Kusumāpīḍa. There is a descriptive statement by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura in his commentary on *Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata* giving the biographical details of the life of Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura.
