### CC Adi 13.53

> আগে অবতারিলা যে যে গুরু-পরিবার ।\
> সংক্ষেপে কহিয়ে, কহা না যায় বিস্তার ॥৫৩॥

> āge avatārilā ye ye guru-parivāra\
> saṅkṣepe kahiye, kahā nā yāya vistāra

*āge*—first of all; *avatārilā*—allowed to descend; *ye ye*—all those; *guru-parivāra*—family of spiritual masters; *saṅkṣepe*—in brief; *kahiye*—I describe; *kahā*—to describe; *nā*—not; *yāya*—possible; *vistāra*—expansively.

**Lord Kṛṣṇa therefore first allowed His family of superiors to descend on the earth. I shall try to describe them in brief because it is not possible to describe them fully.**
