“May the Supreme Lord, who is known as the son of Srimati Sacidevi, be
transcendentally situated in the innermost core of your heart. Resplendent
with the radiance of molten gold, He has descended in the age of Kali by His
causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the
most elevated mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love.”
PURPORT
This verse (Vidagdha-madhava 1.2) also appears in Adi-lild (1.4 and 3.4). In his
commentary on Vidagdha-madhava, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura remarks:
maha-prabhoh sphortim vind hari-lila-rasasvadandnupapatter iti bhavah. Without
the mercy of $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, one cannot describe the pastimes of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore Srila RGpa Gosvamt said, vah
yusmakarh hrdaya-rdpa-guhayam saci-nandano harih, pakse, sirnhah sphuratu:
“May Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is exactly like a lion that kills all the
elephants of desire, be awakened within everyone’s heart, for by His merciful
blessings one can understand the transcendental pastimes of Krsna.”
