Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 1 Text 3

sva-dayita-nija-bhāvaṁ yo vibhāvya sva-bhāvāt
su-madhuram avatīrṇo bhakta-rūpeṇa lobhāt
jayati kanaka-dhāmā kṛṣṇa-caitanya-nāmā
harir iha yati-veśaḥ śrī-śacī-sūnur eṣaḥ

TRANSLATION
Realizing that the ecstasy of His beloved devotees is even sweeter than His own, out of greed the Lord descended to this world in the form of His own devotee. Dressed as a renunciant, golden in effulgence, He bears the name Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. All glories to that Lord Hari, who has appeared as the son of Mother Śacī!
