Text

nāma-prema diyā kaila sabāra nistāra
caitanyera gūḍha-līlā bujhite śakti kāra

Synonyms

nāma-prema diyā — bestowing upon them ecstatic love and the holy name; kaila — did; sabāra nistāra — liberation of all of them; caitanyera — of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; gūḍha-līlā — confidential pastimes; bujhite — to understand; śakti — the power; kāra — who has.

Translation

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave even the Bheels an opportunity to chant the holy name and come to the platform of ecstatic love. Thus He delivered all of them. Who has the power to understand the transcendental pastimes of the Lord?

Purport

As evidence of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy, we are experiencing that the people of Africa are taking to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, chanting and dancing and taking prasādam like other Vaiṣṇavas. This is all due to the power of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Who can understand how His potency is working all over the world?
