CC Ādi 4.1 — By the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, even a foolish child can fully describe the real nature of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enjoyer of the pastimes of Vraja, according to the vision of the revealed scriptures.
CC Ādi 4.2 — All glory to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu! All glory to Lord Nityānanda! All glory to Śrī Advaita Ācārya! And all glory to all the devotees of Lord Caitanya!
CC Ādi 4.3 — I have described the meaning of the fourth verse. Now, O devotees, kindly hear the explanation of the fifth verse.
CC Ādi 4.4 — Just to explain the original verse, I shall first suggest its meaning.
CC Ādi 4.5 — I have given the essential meaning of the fourth verse: this incarnation [Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu] descends to propagate the chanting of the holy name and spread love of God.
CC Ādi 4.6 — 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.
CC Ādi 4.7 — The scriptures proclaim that Lord Kṛṣṇa previously descended to take away the burden of the earth.
CC Ādi 4.8 — To take away this burden, however, is not the work of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The maintainer, Lord Viṣṇu, is the one who protects the universe.
CC Ādi 4.9 — But the time to lift the burden of the world mixed with the time for Lord Kṛṣṇa’s incarnation.
