Šri Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā Ch 16
TRANSLATION
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then glanced with mercy at the Mohammedan governor. Giving him assurance, He asked him to chant the holy names Kṛṣṇa and Hari.
PURPORT
It is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy that He advises everyone—even  caṇḍālas ,  mlecchas  and  yavanas —to chant the holy name of the Lord. In other words, one who has taken to chanting the holy names Kṛṣṇa and Hari has already received Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy. The Lord’s request to chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa is now extended to everyone in the world through this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Whoever follows Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s instructions will certainly be purified, and one who sincerely chants the holy name offenselessly is already more than a  brāhmaṇa . Unfortunately there are many fools and rascals in India who do not allow Western Vaiṣṇavas to enter certain temples. Such rascals do not clearly understand the  Vedas . As stated previously:  yan-nāmadheya-śravaṇānukirtanād .
TEXT 1888
সেই কছে,—‘মোারে যদি কৈলা অঙ্গীকার। এক আজ্ঞা দেহ,—সেবা করি যে তোমার ॥ ১৮৮ ॥
sei kahe,—‘more yadi kailā aṅgikāra eka ājñā deha,—sevā kari ye tomāra.
SYNONYMS
sei kahe —the Mohammedan governor said;  more —me;  yadi —if;  kailā aṅgikāra —You have accepted;  eka ājñā —one order;  deha —give;  sevā —service;  kari —I may render;  ye —so that;  tomāra —Your.
TRANSLATION
The Mohammedan governor then said, “Since You have so kindly accepted me, please give me some order so that I can render You some service.”
PURPORT
If one is purified by following Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s orders—that is, by chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa—one must certainly be eager to render service to the Lord. This is the test. When one engages enthusiastically in the Lord’s service, it is to be understood that he is reaping the results of chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa and Hari.
