1 am a very insignificant living being, like a small red-beaked bird. Just as
such a bird drinks the water of the sea to quench its thirst, so | have touched
only a drop of the ocean of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s pastimes. From this ex-
ample, you may all understand how expansive are the pastimes of Sri Caitanya
Mahdprabhu.
