Cc Antya 20.87

চৈতন্যমংগলে ইহা লিখিযাছে স্থানেস্থানে সত্য কহেন,—ঽআগে ব্যাস করিব বর্ণনেঽ

चैतन्यमंगले इहा लिखियाछे स्थानेस्थाने सत्य कहेन,—ऽआगे व्यास करिब वर्णनेऽ

caitanya-maṅgale ihā likhiyāche sthāne-sthāne satya kahena,—'āge vyāsa kariba varṇane'

Translation

In Caitanya-maṅgala, Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura has stated in many places the factual truth that in the future Vyāsadeva will describe them elaborately.

Purport

The statement āge vyāsa kariba varṇane is similar to a text in the Caitanya-bhāgavata (First Chapter, text 180) in which Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura says:

śeṣa-khaṇḍe caitanyera ananta vilāsa
vistāriyā varṇite āchena veda-vyāsa

"The unlimited pastimes of Śrī Caitanya will be described by Vyāsadeva in the future." Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura says that these statements indicate that in the future, other representatives of Vyāsadeva will elaborately describe Lord Caitanya's pastimes. The purport is that any pure devotee in the disciplic succession who describes the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is confirmed to be a representative of Vyāsadeva.
