CC Ādi 5.227 Therefore who can describe the mercy of the lotus feet of Him [Lord Nityānanda] by whom I have attained the shelter of this Lord Govinda?

CC Ādi 5.228 All the groups of Vaiṣṇavas who live in Vṛndāvana are absorbed in chanting the all-auspicious name of Kṛṣṇa.
CC Ādi 5.229 Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda are the life and soul of those Vaiṣṇavas, who do not know anything but devotional service to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.
CC Ādi 5.230 The dust and shade of the lotus feet of the Vaiṣṇavas have been granted to this fallen soul by the mercy of Lord Nityānanda.
CC Ādi 5.231 Lord Nityānanda said, “In Vṛndāvana all things are possible.” Here I have explained His brief statement in detail.
CC Ādi 5.232 I have attained all this by coming to Vṛndāvana, and this was made possible by the mercy of Lord Nityānanda.
CC Ādi 5.233 I have described my own story without reservations. The attributes of Lord Nityānanda, making me like a madman, force me to write these things.
CC Ādi 5.234 The glories of Lord Nityānanda’s transcendental attributes are unfathomable. Even Lord Śeṣa, with His thousands of mouths, cannot find their limit.
CC Ādi 5.235 Praying at the lotus feet of Śrī Rūpa and Śrī Raghunātha, always desiring their mercy, I, Kṛṣṇadāsa, narrate Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, following in their footsteps.
