TRANSLATION

The characteristics of Krsna are understood to be a storehouse of transcendental
love. Although that storehouse of love certainly came with Krsna when He was
present, it was sealed. But when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came with His other
associates of the Parica-tattva, they broke the seal and plundered the storehouse to
taste transcendental love of Krsna. The more they tasted it, the more their thirst for
it grew.

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is called maha-vadanyavatara because although He is
Sri Krsna Himself, He is even more favorably disposed to the poor fallen souls than
Lord Sti Krsna. When Lord Sri Krsna Himself was personally present He demanded
that everyone surrender unto Him and promised that He would then give one all
protection, but when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to this earth with His associ-
ates, He simply distributed transcendental love of God without discrimination. Sri
Rupa Gosvami, therefore, could understand that Lord Caitanya was none other
than Sri Krsna Himself, for no one but the Supreme Personality of Godhead can
distribute confidential love of the Supreme Person.
