Significado

Formerly there were no printing presses or printed books. All books were handwritten. Precious books were kept in manuscript form in temples or other important places, and anyone who was interested in a book had to copy it by hand. Vijaya dāsa was a professional writer who copied many manuscripts and gave them to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

En aquellos tiempos no había imprentas ni libros impresos. Todos los libros se escribían a mano. Los libros valiosos se conservaban en forma manuscrita en templos y otros lugares importantes, y todo aquel que se interesara por un libro tenía que copiarlo a mano. Vijaya dāsa era un escribano profesional que copió muchos manuscritos, y los entregó a Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
