PURPORT

The name Vasudevamrta-prada is mentioned in the verses composed by Sar-
vabhauma Bhattacarya. When a person actually revives his consciousness with
thoughts of Krsna by the mercy of Sr Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he revives his
spiritual life and becomes addicted to the service of the Lord. Only then can he
act as an dcarya. In other words, everyone should engage in preaching, following
in the footsteps of $rt Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In this way one will be very much
appreciated by Lord Krsna and will quickly be recognized by Him. Actually a
devotee of Sti Caitanya Mah&prabhu must engage in preaching in order to in-
crease the followers of the Lord. By thus preaching actual Vedic knowledge all
over the world, one will benefit all mankind.
