Text 82] The Ecstatic Manifestations of Lord Caitanya 227

making unlimited amounts of gold, the touchstone remains the same.
Similarly, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, although distributing love of Godhead
unlimitedly, still remained the supreme owner of this transcendental opu-
lence. His devotees, who learned it from Him, also had to distribute it munifi-
cently all over the world. This Krsna consciousness movement, following in
the footsteps of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His confidential devotees, is
also trying to distribute love of Godhead all over the world through the
chanting of the holy names of the Lord——Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna
Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.

TRANSLATION

No one, not even Lord Brahmi, can ascertain or even taste a drop of this
confidential ocean of ecstasy, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of His
causeless mercy, has distributed this love of Godhead all over the world.
Thus there cannot be any incarnation more munificent than Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. There is no greater donor. Who can describe His transcen-
dental qualities?
