TRANSLATION
When someone heard the chanting of the holy name from the mouth of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and someone else heard this chanting from that second
person, and someone again heard this chanting from the third person, every-
one in all countries became a Vaisnava through such disciplic succession.
Thus everyone chanted the holy name of Krsna and Hari, and they danced,
cried and smiled.
PURPORT
The transcendental power or potency of the Hare Krsna mahd-mantra is herein
explained. First, the holy name is vibrated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When
someone hears from Him directly, he is purified. When another person hears from
that person, he also is purified. In this way the purification process is advanced
among pure devotees. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, and no one can claim His potency. Nonetheless, if one is a pure devo-
tee, hundreds and thousands of men can be purified by his vibration. This po-
tency is within every living being, provided he chants the Hare Krsna maha-mantra
offenselessly and without material motives. When a pure devotee chants of-
fenselessly, another person will become a Vaisnava, and from him another
Vaisnava will emerge. This is the parampard system.
