TEXT 14
He Aca fas-Sfe seam alates |
Stara wafer ‘caga’ Sa ALCHTH 1 38 I

SYNONYMS
sei jive—in that living being; nija-bhakti—His own devotion; karena prakase—
manifests directly; tahdra darsane—by seeing such an empowered devotee;
vaisnava—devotees of Krsna; haya—become; sarva-dese—in all other countries.
TRANSLATION
Thus He empowered living beings [His pure devotees] by manifesting in
them so much of His own devotion that people in all other countries became
devotees by seeing them.
PURPORT
As stated in Caitanya-caritamrta (Antya 7.11):
kali-kalera dharma— krsna-nadma-sankirtana
krsna-sakti vind nahe tara pravartana
Unless one is empowered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, $ri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, one cannot spread the holy names of the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra
throughout the world. Persons who do so are empowered. Therefore they are
sometimes called dvesa-avataras or incarnations, for they are endowed with the
power of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
