PURPORT

This verse (Vidagdha-madhava 1.2) also appears in Adi-lila (1.4 and 3.4). In his commentary on Vidagdha-madhava, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura remarks: maha-prabhoh sphurtim vina hari-lila-rasasvadananupapatter iti bhavah. Without the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, one cannot describe the pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore Srila Rupa Gosvami said, vah yusmakam hrdaya-rupa-guhayam saci-nandano harih, pakse, simhah sphuratu: "May Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is exactly like a lion that kills all the elephants of desire, be awakened within everyone's heart, for by His merciful blessings one can understand the transcendental pastimes of Krsna."
