214 Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta

TRANSLATION

Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the spiritual master of the entire
world, Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, by whose mercy even a dog can swim
across a great ocean.

PURPORT

Sometimes it is to be seen that a dog can swim in the water for a few yards and
then come back to the shore. Here, however, it is stated that if a dog is blessed by
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he can swim across an ocean. Similarly, the author of
Caitanya-caritamrta, Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, placing himself in a helpless con-
dition, states that he has no personal power, but by the desire of Lord Caitanya,
expressed through the Vaisnavas and Madana-mohana vigraha, it is possible for him
to cross a transcendental ocean to present Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta.
