SYNONYMS
mali-datta—given by the gardener; ja/a—water; advaita-skandha—the branch known
as Advaita Acarya; yogdya—supplies; sei—by that; ja/e—water; jfye—lives; sakha—
branches; phula-phala—fruits and flowers; pdya—grow.
TRANSLATION
_ The Advaita Acarya branch received the water supplied by the original gardener,
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In this way, the sub-branches were nourished, and their
fruits and flowers grew luxuriantly.
PURPORT
The branches of Advaita Acarya nourished by the water (ja/a) supplied by Si
Caitanya Mahaprabhu are to be considered bona fide dcdryas. As we have discussed
hereinbefore, the representatives of Advaita Acarya later divided into two groups—
the bona fide branches of the dcdrya’s disciplic succession and the pretentious
branches of Advaita Acarya. Those who followed the principles of Caitanya
Mahaprabhu flourished, whereas the others, who are mentioned below in the sixty-
seventh verse, dried up.
