Interesting quote

[Guest guest]

Hare Krishna. Came across the following in Narada

Purana, downloaded from:

 

http://www.sub.uni-goettingen.de/ebene_1/fiindolo/gretil.htm#Pur

 

Please note than 1.5.47, the last verse is generally

quoted as refrring to Mahaprabhu. I came across the

quotation to be "aham eva dvija srestha..", while the

verse usually mentioned is "aham eve kalau vipra..."

 

I'm giving the preceeding verses for the context. Any

comments on this?
