Translation

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is known as Gaurāṅga, is the reservoir of all conclusive knowledge in devotional service. He empowered Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya, who may be likened to a cloud of devotional service. This cloud was filled with all the conclusive purports of devotional service and was empowered by the ocean to spread this water over the sea. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself was the ocean of knowledge of pure devotional service.
