চৈতন্যমঙ্গলে ইহা লিখিয়াছে স্থানে-স্থানে ।

caitanya-maṅgale iha likhiyache sthane-sthane

satya kahena,-'age vyasa kariba varnane'

SYNONYMS

caitanya-maṅgale-in the book named Caitanya-maṅgala; iha-this statement; likhiyache-has written; sthane-sthane-in many places; satya-the truth; kahena-he says; age-in the future; vyasa kariba varnane-Vyasadeva will describe them more elaborately.

TRANSLATION

In Caitanya-maṅgala, Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura has stated in many places the factual truth that in the future Vyasadeva will describe them elaborately.

PURPORT

The statement age vyasa kariba varnane is similar to a text in the Caitanya-bhagavata (First Chapter, text 180) in which Vrndavana dasa Thakura says:

sesa-khande caitanyera ananta vilasa
vistariya varnite achena veda-vyasa

"The unlimited pastimes of Sri Caitanya will be described by Vyasadeva in the future." Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that these statements indicate that in the future, other representatives of Vyasadeva will elaborately describe Lord Caitanya's pastimes. The purport is that any pure devotee in the disciplic succession who describes the pastimes of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is confirmed to be a representative of Vyasadeva.
