Ādi-līlāChapter 4: The Confidential Reasons for the Appearance of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu

Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Ādi 4.86

kimvā, prema-rasa-maya kṛṣṇera svarūpa

tāńra śakti tāńra saha haya eka-rūpa

SYNONYMS

kimvā — or; prema-rasa — the mellows of love; mayamade of; kṛṣṇera — of Lord Kṛṣṇa; svarūpa — the real nature; tāńra — of Him; śakti — the energy; tāńra saha — with Him; haya — there is; eka-rūpa — oneness.

TRANSLATION

Or "kṛṣṇa-mayī" means that She is identical with Lord Kṛṣṇa, for She embodies the mellows of love. The energy of Lord Kṛṣṇa is identical with Him.

PURPORT

Kṛṣṇa-mayī has two different imports. First, a person who always thinks of Kṛṣṇa both within and without and who always remembers only Kṛṣṇa, wherever he goes or whatever he sees, is called kṛṣṇa-mayī. Also, since Kṛṣṇa's personality is full of love, His loving potency, Rādhārāṇī, being nondifferent from Him, is called kṛṣṇa-mayī.
