SYNONYMS
eita' -- all these; mahima -- glories; tomara -- Your; tatastha-lakshana -- marginal characteristics; svarupa -- original; lakshane -- by characteristics; tumi -- You; vrajendra-nandana -- the son of Maharaja Nanda.
TRANSLATION
"These glories of Yours are only marginal. Originally You are the son of Maharaja Nanda."
PURPORT
The original characteristics of a substance are called svarupa, and the subsequent corollaries are called tatastha-lakshana, or marginal characteristics. The glories of the Lord's marginal characteristics prove Him to be the original Supreme Personality of Godhead, the son of Maharaja Nanda. As soon as one understands this, one accepts Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna.
