TRANSLATION
In reply to those critics who say that Sri Caitanya-caritamrta is full of
Sanskrit verses, it can be said that Srimad-Bhagavatam is also full of
Sanskrit verses, as are the commentaries on Srimad-Bhagavatam. None-
theless, Srimad-Bhagavatam can be understood by everyone, as well as by
advanced devotees who study the Sanskrit commentaries. Why, then, will
people not understand Caitanya-caritimrta? There are only a few Sanskrit
verses, and these have been explained in the Bengali vernacular. What is
the difficulty in understanding?
