A. -pr. -bh.:

“[All glories to] Ś rī Caitanya Mahā prabhu, Lord Nityā nanda, Advaita Ā cā rya who is the bulb from which love of Godhead has sprung, Haridā sa Ṭ hā kura, Svarū pa Dā modara, Ś rī la Vaṁ ś ī Vadanā nanda Ṭ hā kura [who was given the charge of caring for Lord Caitanya's mother and wife after the Lord took sannyā sa and whose family descendant was Vipina-vihā rī Gosvā mī, the dī kṣ ā -guru of Bhaktivinoda Ṭ hā kura], Sā rvabhauma Bhaṭ ṭ ā cā rya, Rā mā nanda Rā ya, and the two brothers, Rū pa and Sanā tana Gosvā mī s. ”

“[All glories to] Ś rī Jī va Gosvā mī, Gopā la Bhaṭ ṭ a, Raghunā tha Dā sa and Raghunā tha Bhaṭ ṭ a Gosvā mī s, Ś ivā nanda Sena, Kavi-karṇ apū ra, Narottama dā sa Ṭ hā kura, Ś rī nivā sa Ā cā rya, Rā macandra Kavirā ja and Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa Kavirā ja Gosvā mī, Baladeva Vidyā bhū ṣ aṇ a and Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura. ”

“I offer my sincere obeisances unto the Lord and His devotees, and present an essential commentary which is like ‘a flow of nectar. ’ I have expanded the contents of Ś rī Caitanya-caritā mṛ ta, so please deliberate on it, dear devotees. ”

“The topics of Lord Gaurā ṅ ga are like an ocean of milk. Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa Kavirā ja bathed in it, and he brought a stream of nectar. Vaiṣ ṇ avas drink that ambrosia of poetry, and it is soothing their heart; they want to drink more of it, again and again. ”

sā dhu-ā jñ ā ś ire dhari,     yatne ei bhā ṣ ya kari,

“Everybody was asking this poor wretch to write its commentary. Keeping the order of saintly persons on my head, I carefully compose this bhā ṣ ya, so that I can offer it to them. ”

[ Purp.: Ś rī Caitanya Mahā prabhu is none other than the combined form of Ś rī Rā dhā and Kṛ ṣ ṇ a. He is the life of those devotees who strictly follow in the footsteps of Ś rī la Rū pa Gosvā mī. Ś rī la Rū pa Gosvā mī and Ś rī la Sanā tana Gosvā mī are the two principal followers of Ś rī la Svarū pa Dā modara Gosvā mī, who acted as the most confidential servitor of Lord Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanya Mahā prabhu, known as Viś vambhara in His early life. A direct disciple of Ś rī la Rū pa Gosvā mī was Ś rī la Raghunā tha dā sa Gosvā mī. The author of Ś rī Caitanya-caritā mṛ ta, Ś rī la Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa Kavirā ja Gosvā mī, stands as the direct disciple of Ś rī la Rū pa Gosvā mī and Ś rī la Raghunā tha dā sa Gosvā mī. The direct disciple of Ś rī la Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa Kavirā ja Gosvā mī was Ś rī la Narottama dā sa Ṭ hā kura, who accepted Ś rī la Viś vanā tha Cakravartī as his servitor. Ś rī la Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura accepted Ś rī la Jagannā tha dā sa Bā bā jī, the spiritual master of Ś rī la Bhaktivinoda Ṭ hā kura, who in turn accepted Ś rī la Gaurakiś ora dā sa Bā bā jī, the spiritual master of Oṁ Viṣ ṇ upā da Ś rī la Bhaktisiddhā nta Sarasvatī Gosvā mī Mahā rā ja, the divine master of our humble self. Since we belong to this chain of disciplic succession from Ś rī Caitanya Mahā prabhu, this edition of Ś rī Caitanya-caritā mṛ ta will contain nothing newly manufactured by our tiny brains, but only remnants of food originally eaten by the Lord Himself…]

Anubh.: [the beginning is similar to the song Ś rī Guru-paramparā by Ś rī la Bhaktisiddhā nta Sarasvatī Gosvā mī, strophes 6 to 10]

mahā prabhu ś rī -caitanya,      rā dhā -kṛ ṣ ṇ a nahe anya,

tā ṅ ra mitra rū pa-sanā tana

“Mahā prabhu Ś rī Caitanya is nondifferent from Ś rī Ś rī Rā dhā and Kṛ ṣ ṇ a and is the very life of those Vaiṣ ṇ avas who follow Ś rī Rū pa Gosvā mī. Ś rī Svarū pa Dā modara Gosvā mī, and his friends Rū pa and Sanā tana Gosvā mī s were giving great happiness to Viś vambhara. ”

“The great soul Raghunā tha dā sa Gosvā mī, a favorite companion of Rū pa Gosvā mī, was loved by devotees. His dear student was Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa Kavirā ja Gosvā mī. Narottama dā sa was always engaged in the service of his guru, Lokanā tha Gosvā mī, Kṛ ṣ ṇ adā sa’s intimate friend. To serve the feet of Narottama dā sa Ṭ hā kura was the only desire of Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura. ”

“Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura was a king among devotees. Jagannā tha dā sa Bā bā jī had a firm faith in him, and Jagannā tha’s beloved student was Ś rī la Bhaktivinoda Ṭ hā kura. His associate was the eminent mahā -bhā gavata Ś rī la Gaurakiś ora dā sa Bā bā jī, whose sole joy was found in hari-bhajana. ”

“The one who longs for the remnants of food left on the plates of all these devotees, Lord Gaurā ṅ ga’s dear associates, is named ‘the servant of the lover of beautiful Rā dhā who is always devoted to serving Her worshipable master, ’ or Ś rī Vā rṣ abhā navī -devī -dayita dā sa. ”

“I wish to serve devotees of the Lord, and my desire is that devotional service increases. I take inspiration from the Amṛ ta-pravā ha-bhā ṣ ya commentary, consult the writings of Mahā prabhu’s followers, and in accordance with them I write this Anubhā ṣ ya commentary, strictly in line with the teachings of Ś rī la Rū pa Gosvā mī. ”

Purp.: … The first manifestation described is the spiritual master, who appears in two plenary parts called the initiating spiritual master and instructing spiritual master. They are identical because both of them are phenomenal manifestations of the Supreme Truth. Next described are the devotees, who are divided into two classes, namely, the apprentices and the graduates. Next are the incarnations (avatā ras) of the Lord, who are explained to be nondifferent from the Lord…

A. -pr. -bh.: … The spiritual masters are of two kinds – dī kṣ ā -guru and ś ikṣ ā -guru. A disciple should esteem them highly, knowing them to be manifestations of Lord Kṛ ṣ ṇ a. The Lord’s devotees are of two classes – siddha and sā dhaka. The Lord is Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a, the original Personality of Godhead, and His many expansions. …

TEXT 19

These three Deities of Vṛ ndā vana [Madana-mohana, Govinda and Gopī nā tha] have absorbed the heart and soul of the Gauḍ ī ya Vaiṣ ṇ avas [followers of Lord Caitanya]. I worship Their lotus feet, for They are the Lords of my heart.

A. -pr. -bh.: Ś rī Madana-mohana, Ś rī Govinda and Ś rī Gopī nā tha – these three Lords are the presiding Deities of Vṛ ndā vana. Bestowing upon the Gauḍ ī ya Vaiṣ ṇ avas the abilities to serve Them, They make them Their devotees.

A. -pr. -bh.: I offer my obeisances unto both initiating and instructing spiritual masters, unto devotees headed by Ś rī vā sa, unto incarnations like Advaita Prabhu, unto expansions beginning with Nityā nanda Prabhu, unto the Lord’s energies beginning with Ś rī Gadā dhara, and unto the Supreme Truth, the Personality of Godhead, named Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanya Mahā prabhu.

Anubh.: A ś loka composed by the author:

(the author: I am Kṛ ṣ ṇ a’s servant) gurū n (unto the vartma-pradarś aka, mantra-dā tṛ and ś ikṣ ā -dā tṛ n gurus headed by Ś rī Nityā nanda Prabhu, Raghunā tha dā sa and Rū pa Gosvā mī s) ī ś a-bhaktā n (unto the servants of Lord Gaura-Kṛ ṣ ṇ a, headed by Ś rī vā sa) kṛ ṣ ṇ a-caitanya saṁ jñ akam ī ś am (unto the Personality of Godhead) ī ś ā vatā rakā n (headed by Ś rī Advaita Ā cā rya) tat-prakā ś ā n (unto the manifestations of Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanya, beginning with Nityā nanda Prabhu) tac-chaktī ḥ (unto the energies of Lord Gaura-Kṛ ṣ ṇ a, headed by Gadā dhara, Dā modara and Jagadā nanda) (unto these six tattvas which are mutually nondifferent companions aham) vande.

TEXTS 37-43

ei chaya guru——ś ikṣ ā -guru ye ā mā ra

tā ṅ ’-sabā ra pā da-padme koṭ i namaskā ra

These six are my instructing spiritual masters, and therefore I offer millions of respectful obeisances unto their lotus feet.

bhagavā nera bhakta yata ś rī vā sa pradhā na

tā ṅ ’-sabhā ra pā da-padme sahasra praṇ ā ma

There are innumerable devotees of the Lord, of whom Ś rī vā sa Ṭ hā kura is the foremost. I offer my respectful obeisances thousands of times unto their lotus feet.

advaita ā cā rya——prabhura aṁ ś a-avatā ra

tā ṅ ra pā da-padme koṭ i praṇ ati ā mā ra

Advaita Ā cā rya is the Lord’s partial incarnation, and therefore I offer my obeisances millions of times at His lotus feet.

nityā nanda-rā ya——prabhura svarū pa-prakā ś a

tā ṅ ra pā da-padma vando yā ṅ ra muñ i dā sa

Ś rī la Nityā nanda Rā ma is the plenary manifestation of the Lord, and I have been initiated by Him. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto His lotus feet.

gadā dhara-paṇ ḍ itā di——prabhura nija-ś akti

tā ṅ ’-sabā ra caraṇ e mora sahasra praṇ ati

… sahasra—thousands; praṇ ati—respectful obeisances.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the internal potencies of the Lord, of whom Ś rī Gadā dhara Prabhu is the foremost.

ś rī -kṛ ṣ ṇ a-caitanya prabhu svayaṁ -bhagavā n

tā ṅ hā ra padā ravinde ananta praṇ ā ma

Lord Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanya Mahā prabhu is the Personality of Godhead Himself, and therefore I offer innumerable prostrations at His lotus feet.

sā varaṇ e prabhure kariyā namaskā ra

ei chaya teṅ ho yaiche——kariye vicā ra

Having offered obeisances unto the Lord and all His associates, I shall now try to explain these six diversities in one.

Anubh.: The purpose of different counts of obeisances – innumerable obeisances to Ś rī Gaurasundara, millions of obeisances to Ś rī Advaita and the instructing spiritual masters, and thousands of obeisances to ś akti-tattva and bhakta-tattva – is not to indicate that one should see any material differences between them.

The two kinds of gurus, the devotees, the Lord, His incarnation, His manifestation and His energy are the six forms in which Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanyadeva enjoys His pastimes, and all of them are included in the nondual Absolute Truth named Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Caitanya, considering the inconceivable simultaneous oneness and difference.

TEXT 46

“One should know the ā cā rya as Myself and never disrespect him in any way. One should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all the demigods. ”

Purp.: … The Manu-saṁ hitā (2. 140) explains the duties of an ā cā rya, describing that a bona fide spiritual master accepts charge of disciples, teaches them the Vedic knowledge with all its intricacies, and gives them their second birth…

Anubh.:

upanī ya tu yaḥ ś iṣ yaṁ vedam adhyā payed dvijaḥ

sa-kalpaṁ sa-rahasyañ ca tam ā cā ryaṁ pracakṣ ate

(Manu 2. 140)

Purp.: … In the Vā yu Purā ṇ a an ā cā rya is defined as one who knows the import of all the Vedic literatures, explains the purpose of the Vedas, abides by their rules and regulations, and teaches his disciples to act in the same way…

Anubh.:

ā cinoti yaḥ ś ā strā rtham ā cā re sthā payaty api

svayam ā cā rate yasmā d ā cā ryas tena kī rtitaḥ

(Vā yu Purā ṇ a)

Purp.: … Ś rī la Raghunā tha dā sa Gosvā mī confirms that this is the real position of a bona fide spiritual master and says that one should always think of the spiritual master in terms of his intimate relationship with Mukunda (Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a)…

Anubh.: …ś rī -raghunā tha-dā sa gosvā mī prabhu gurudeva-sambandhe ‘mukunda preṣ ṭ hatve guru-varaṁ smara’ ei-rū pa balena... [in the second ś loka of his book the Manaḥ -ś ikṣ ā ]

Purp.: … Ś rī la Jī va Gosvā mī, in his Bhakti-sandarbha (213), has clearly explained that a pure devotee’s observation of the spiritual master and Lord Ś iva as being one with the Personality of Godhead exists in terms of their being very dear to the Lord, not identical with Him in all respects…

Anubh.: … ś rī -jī va-gosvā mī prabhu bhakti-sandarbhe (213 saṅ khyā ) likhiyā chena — ‘ś uddha-bhaktā ḥ ś rī -guroḥ ś rī -ś ivasya ca bhagavatā saha abheda dṛ ṣ ṭ iṁ tat priyatamatvenaiva manyante’

Purp.: … Following in the footsteps of Ś rī la Raghunā tha dā sa Gosvā mī and Ś rī la Jī va Gosvā mī, later ā cā ryas like Ś rī la Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura have confirmed the same truths. In his prayers to the spiritual master, Ś rī la Viś vanā tha Cakravartī Ṭ hā kura confirms that all the revealed scriptures accept the spiritual master to be identical with the Personality of Godhead because he is a very dear and confidential servant of the Lord…

Anubh.: … tad-anuga ś rī viś vanā tha cakravartī ṭ hā kura ś rī -gurudeva-stotre baliyā chena,

‘sā kṣ ā d-dharitvena samasta-ś ā strair uktas tathā bhā vyata eva sadbhiḥ

kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya vande guroḥ ś rī -caraṇ ā ravindam’

TEXT 47

One should know the instructing spiritual master to be the Personality of Kṛ ṣ ṇ a. Lord Kṛ ṣ ṇ a manifests Himself as the Supersoul and as the greatest devotee of the Lord.

Purp.: … Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a Himself teaches us as the instructing spiritual master from within and without. From within He teaches as Paramā tmā, our constant companion, and from without He teaches from the Bhagavad-gī tā as the instructing spiritual master. There are two kinds of instructing spiritual masters. One is the liberated person fully absorbed in meditation in devotional service, and the other is he who invokes the disciple’s spiritual consciousness by means of relevant instructions. Thus the instructions in the science of devotion are differentiated in terms of the objective and subjective ways of understanding…

Anubh.: The one who gives instructions on worshiping the Lord is an instructing spiritual master. The one who does not worship the Lord is acting wrongly and cannot be a guru or ā cā rya. There are two kinds of teachers – a great soul who himself finds pleasure in devotional service (bhajanā nandī mahā nta-guru) and the guru in the heart who gives discretion favorable to devotional service (bhajanā nukū la viveka-dā tā caitya-guru). The difference between bhajana and ś ikṣ ā, the worship and the instructions, is the difference between sā dhya and sā dhana, the objective and the means. …

TEXTS 53-54

aham evā sam evā gre nā nyad yat sad-asat param

paś cā d ahaṁ yad etac ca yo ’vaś iṣ yeta so ’smy aham

ṛ te ’rthaṁ yat pratī yeta na pratī yeta cā tmani

tad vidyā d ā tmano mā yā ṁ yathā bhā so yathā tamaḥ

 “Prior to the cosmic creation, only I exist, and no phenomena exist, either gross, subtle or primordial. After creation, only I exist in everything, and after annihilation, only I remain eternally.

“What appears to be truth without Me is certainly My illusory energy, for nothing can exist without Me. It is like a reflection of a real light in the shadows, for in the light there are neither shadows nor reflections.

A. -pr. -bh.: ei duiṭ ī ś loke sambandha-jñ ā na sampū rṇ a-rū pe jñ ā tavya [= The knowledge of sambandha is to be thoroughly learned from these two verses. ]

TEXT 57

 “All glories to Cintā maṇ i and my initiating spiritual master, Somagiri. All glories to my instructing spiritual master, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who wears peacock feathers in His crown. Under the shade of His lotus feet, which are like desire trees, Jayaś rī [Rā dhā rā ṇ ī ] enjoys the transcendental mellow of an eternal consort. ”

Anubh.: … Bilvamaṅ gala Ṭ hā kura had disciples like Devamaṅ gala and others…

TEXT 64

Such pure devotees are of two types: personal associates [pā riṣ ats] and neophyte devotees [sā dhakas].

A. -pr. -bh.: … Sā dhakas are those who, with the aim of attaining the perfection of service, take to vaidha or rā gā nugā sā dhana-bhakti.

TEXTS 69–70

When the Personality of Godhead expands Himself in many forms, all nondifferent in Their features, as Lord Kṛ ṣ ṇ a did when He married sixteen thousand queens and when He performed His rā sa dance, such forms of the Lord are called manifested forms [prakā ś a-vigrahas].

Anubh.: “prakā ś as tu na bhedeṣ u gaṇ yate sa hi no pṛ thak” (laghu-bhā gavatā mṛ te pū rva-khaṇ ḍ e)

TEXT 78

Examples of such vilā sa-vigrahas are Baladeva, Nā rā yaṇ a in Vaikuṇ ṭ ha-dhā ma, and the catur-vyū ha—Vā sudeva, Saṅ karṣ aṇ a, Pradyumna and Aniruddha.

Anubh.: baladeva — svayaṁ -prakā ś a

nā rā yaṇ a — prā bhava-vilā sa

TEXTS 44-80

A. -pr. -bh.: Texts 44-64 discuss the spiritual masters and devotees. Texts 65-67 discuss the Lord and His incarnation. Texts 68-78 discuss the Lord’s prakā ś a and vilā sa expansions. Finally texts 79-80 discuss the Lord’s energies.

TEXT 81

The personal associates of the primeval Lord, Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a, are His devotees, who are identical with Him. He is complete with His entourage of devotees.

A. -pr. -bh.: … This can be perfectly understood only through the philosophy of acintya-behadā bheda-tattva.

TEXTS 85–86

vraje ye vihare pū rve kṛ ṣ ṇ a-balarā ma

koṭ ī -sū rya-candra jini doṅ hā ra nija-dhā ma

sei dui jagatere ha-iyā sadaya

gauḍ adeś e pū rva-ś aile karilā udaya

… pū rva-ś aile—on the eastern horizon; karilā —did; udaya—arise.

Ś rī Kṛ ṣ ṇ a and Balarā ma, the Personalities of Godhead, who formerly appeared in Vṛ ndā vana and were millions of times more effulgent than the sun and moon, have arisen over the eastern horizon of Gauḍ adeś a [West Bengal], being compassionate for the fallen state of the world.

A. -pr. -bh.: pū rva-ś aile — at Udayā cala[the mountain where the first appearance of the sun is visible] in the form of the country of Gauḍ a; on the eastern bank of the Ganges.

TEXT 107

ś unile khaṇ ḍ ibe cittera ajñ ā nā di doṣ a

kṛ ṣ ṇ e gā ḍ ha prema habe, pā ibe santoṣ a

… kṛ ṣ ṇ e—in Lord Kṛ ṣ ṇ a; gā ḍ ha—deep; prema—love; habe—there will be; …

Simply hearing submissively will free one’s heart from all the faults of ignorance, and thus one will achieve deep love for Kṛ ṣ ṇ a. This is the path of peace.

A. -pr. -bh.: In another reading, instead of ‘kṛ ṣ ṇ e gā ḍ ha prema habe’ one can get ‘sarva-tattva jñ ā na haibe’ [= “one will achieve knowledge of all truths”]
