Verse 6 of 262
Cc Ādi 4.6

সত্য এই হেতু, কিন্তু এহো বহিরংগ আর এক হেতু, শুন, আছে অন্তরংগ

सत्य एइ हेतु, किन्तु एहो बहिरंग आर एक हेतु, शुन, आछे अन्तरंग

satya ei hetu, kintu eho bahiraṅga āra eka hetu, śuna, āche antaraṅga

Synonyms

Translation

Although this is true, this is but the external reason for the Lord's incarnation. Please hear one other reason—the confidential reason—for the Lord's appearance.

Purport

In the Third Chapter, fourth verse, it has been clearly said that Lord Caitanya appeared to distribute love of Kṛṣṇa and the chanting of His transcendental holy name, Hare Kṛṣṇa. That was the secondary purpose of Lord Caitanya's appearance. The real reason is different, as we shall see in this chapter.
