TRANSLATION

Śrī Caitanya-caritāmrita is filled with the activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. It invokes all good fortune and destroys everything inauspicious. If one tastes the nectar of Śrī Caitanya-caritāmrita with faith and love, I become like a bumblebee tasting the honey of transcendental love from his lotus feet.
