“Lord Krsna desired to taste the limitless nectarean mellows of the love of one of
His multitude of loving damsels [Sri Radha], and so He has assumed the form of
Lord Caitanya. He has tasted that love while hiding His own dark complexion with
Her effulgent yellow color. May that Lord Caitanya confer upon us His grace.”

This is the third verse of the second Caitanydstaka of Srila Ripa Gosvami’s
