Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 1 Text 1


jayati nija-padābja-prema-dānāvatīrṇo
vividha-madhurimābdhiḥ ko ’pi kaiśora-gandhiḥ
gata-parama-daśāntaṁ yasya caitanya-rūpād
anubhava-padam āptaṁ prema gopīṣu nityam

 

TRANSLATION
All glories to that inconceivable Lord who descended to bestow the gift of perfect love for His own lotus feet. He is an ocean filled with many kinds of sweetness, and He always bears the fragrance of fresh youth. In His form as Śrī Caitanya He has realized the last extreme of transcendental experience, the love residing eternally in the gopīs.
