Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmrita Ādi 4.86

kimvā, prema-rasa-maya krishnera svarūpa

tāńra śakti tāńra saha haya eka-rūpa

SYNONYMS

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

TRANSLATION

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

PURPORT

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