SYNONYMS

Sri Krsna; $astra—scriptural reference; mata—according to; niripana—decision.

TRANSLATION
| request all my Vaisnava readers to read and hear with rapt attention this narra-
tion of Sri Krsna Caitanya as inculcated in the revealed scriptures.

PURPORT

Lord Caitanya is the Absolute Truth, Krsna Himself. This is substantiated by
evidence from the authentic spiritual scriptures. Sometimes people accept a man as
God on the basis of their whimsical sentiments and without reference to the revealed
scriptures, but the author of Caitanya-caritamrta proves all his statements by citing
the sastras. Thus he establishes that Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality
of Godhead.
