144 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

the appearance of qualitative incarnations like Lord Siva and Lord Brahma.
According to Srila Jiva Gosvami, sambhos tu tamo-dhisthanatvat kajjalamaya-
siuksma-dipa-Sikhd-sthaniyasya na tathd samyam. “The Sambhu-tattva, or the prin-
ciple of Lord Siva, is like a lamp covered with carbon because of his being in charge
of the mode of ignorance. The illumination from such a lamp is very minute. There-
fore the power of Lord Siva cannot compare to that of the Visnu principle.”
