Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Adi 4.6
satya ei hetu, kintu eho bahiranga
ara eka hetu, suna, ache antaranga
SYNONYMS
satya -- true; ei -- this; hetu -- reason; kintu -- but; eho -- this; bahiranga -- external; ara -- another; eka -- one; hetu -- reason; suna -- please hear; ache -- is; antaranga -- internal.
TRANSLATION
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.
PURPORT
In the Third Chapter, fourth verse, it has been clearly said that Lord Caitanya appeared in order to distribute love of Krishna and the chanting of His transcendental holy name, Hare Krishna. That was the secondary purpose of Lord Caitanya's appearance. The real reason is different, as we shall see in this chapter.
