224 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 16

tat tad evavagaccha tvarh
mama tejo 'msa-sambhavem

“Know that all beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark of
My splendor.”’ (Bg. 10.41)

As soon as we find anything extraordinary, we should understand that such an
extraordinary manifestation is the special grace of the Supreme Personality of God-
head. Therefore Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied to the champion, Kesava
Kasmiri, that just as he was greatly proud of being a favorite devotee of mother
Sarasvati, so someone else, like He Himself, being favored by the Supreme Person-
ality of Godhead, could become a Srutidhara and thus memorize anything immedi-
ately simply by hearing it.
