TRANSLATION
| offer my obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, by whose mercy even an
ignorant child can swim across the ocean of conclusive truth, which is full of the
crocodiles of various theories.
PURPORT
By the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
even an inexperienced boy with no educational culture can be saved from the ocean
of nescience, which is full of various types of philosophical doctrines that are like
dangerous aquatic animals. The philosophy of the Buddha, the argumentative pre-
sentations of the /fianis, the yoga systems of Patafijali and Gautama, and the systems
of philosophers like Kanada, Kapila and Dattatreya are dangerous creatures in the
ocean of nescience. By the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu one can have real
understanding of the essence of knowledge by avoiding these sectarian views and
accepting the lotus feet of Krsna as the ultimate goal of life. Let us all worship
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for His gracious mercy to the conditioned souls.
