Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta

CHAPTER TEN
The Trunk, Branches and Subbranches of the Caitanya Tree
This chapter describes the branches of the tree named Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Text 1: Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If even a doggish nondevotee somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower.

Text 2: All glories to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Nityānanda! All glories to Advaita Prabhu, and all glories to the devotees of Lord Caitanya, headed by Śrīvāsa!

Text 3: The description of Lord Caitanya as the gardener and the tree is inconceivable. Now hear with attention about the branches of this tree.

Text 4: The associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu were many, but none of them should be considered lower or higher. This cannot be ascertained.

Text 5: All the great personalities in the line of Lord Caitanya enumerated these devotees, but they could not distinguish between the greater and the lesser.

Text 6: I offer my obeisances unto them as a token of respect. I request them not to consider my offenses.

Text 7: I offer my obeisances to all the dear devotees of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the eternal tree of love of Godhead. I offer my respects to all the branches of the tree, the devotees of the Lord who distribute the fruit of love of Kṛṣṇa.
