56 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-liia, Ch. 13
TRANSLATION
| wish the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, by whose mercy even one who is
fallen can describe the pastimes of the Lord.
PURPORT
To describe Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu or Lord Sri Krsna, one, needs supernatural
power, which is the grace and mercy of the Lord. Without this grace and mercy, one
cannot compose transcendental literature. By dint of the grace of the Lord, how-
ever, even one who is unfit for a literary career can describe wonderful transcendental
topics. Description of Krsma is possible for one who is empowered. Krsna-sokti
vind nahe tdra pravartana (Cc. Antya 7.11). Unless endowed with the mercy of the
Lord, one cannot preach of the Lord's name, fame, quality, form, entourage and so
on. It should be concluded, therefore, that the description of Caitanya-caritémrta
by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami manifests specific mercy bestowed upon the author,
although he thought of himself as the most fallen. We should not consider him
fallen because he describes himself as such. Rather, anyone who is able to compose
such transcendental literature is our esteemed master,
