TRANSLATION

Praying at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, always desiring their mercy, I, Krsnadasa, narrate Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta, following in their footsteps.

Thus ends the Caitanya-caritamrta, Eighth Chapter, Adi-lila, in the matter of the author's receiving the orders of the authorities, Krsna and guru.
