Translation

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu also found two other books—namely, Brahma-saṁhitā and Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta. Knowing these books to be excellent, He took them to present to His devotees.

Purport

In the olden days, there were no presses, and all the important scriptures were hand-written and kept in large temples. Caitanya Mahāprabhu found Brahma-saṁhitā and Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta in hand-written texts, and knowing them to be very authoritative, He took them with Him to present to His devotees. Of course, He obtained the permission of the temple commander. Now both Brahma-saṁhitā and Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta are available in print with commentaries by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura.
