TRANSLATION
O fools, just read Caitanya-maṅgala! By reading this book you can understand all the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
PURPORT
Sri Vrndavana dasa Thakura's Caitanya-bhagavata was originally entitled Caitanya-maṅgala, but when Srila Locana dasa Thakura later wrote another book named Caitanya-maṅgala, Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura changed the name of his own book, which is now therefore known as Caitanya-bhagavata. The life of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is very elaborately described in Caitanya-bhagavata, and Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami has already informed us that in his Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta he has described whatever Vrndavana dasa Thakura has not mentioned. This acceptance of Sri-Caitanya-bhagavata by Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami indicates his acceptance of the disciplic succession. A writer of transcendental literature never tries to surpass the previous acaryas.
