TRANSLATION
By the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, even a foolish child can fully describe the real nature of Lord Krishna, the enjoyer of the pastimes of Vraja, according to the vision of the revealed scriptures.
PURPORT
One can ascertain the meaning of this Sanskrit sloka only when one is endowed with the causeless mercy of Lord Caitanya. Lord Sri Krishna, being the absolute Personality of Godhead, cannot be exposed to the mundane instruments of vision. He reserves the right not to be exposed by the intellectual feats of nondevotees. Notwithstanding this truth, even a small child can easily understand Lord Sri Krishna and His transcendental pastimes in the land of Vrindavana by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
