It is Adi 4.235

 

Your servant apd

---------------------

 

“Desiring to understand the glory of Radharani’s love, the wonderful

qualities in Him that She alone relishes through Her love, and the

happiness She feels when She realizes the sweetness of His love, the

Supreme Lord Hari, richly endowed with Her emotions, appeared from the

womb of Srimati Saci-devi, as the moon appeared from the ocean.”

 

Adi 4.231

 

TRANSLATION

All these conclusions are unfit to disclose in public. But if they are

not disclosed, no one will understand them.

 

Ädi 4.232

 

Therefore I shall mention them, revealing only their essence, so that

loving devotees will understand them but fools will not.

 

Ädi 4.233

 

Anyone who has captured Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu and Lord Nityänanda

Prabhu in his heart will become blissful by hearing all these

transcendental conclusions.

 

Ädi 4.234

 

All these conclusions are like the newly grown twigs of a mango tree;

they are always pleasing to the devotees, who in this way resemble

cuckoo birds.

 

Ädi 4.235

 

The camellike nondevotees cannot enter into these topics. Therefore

there is special jubilation in my heart.

 

Ädi 4.236

 

For fear of them I do not wish to speak, but if they do not understand,

then what can be happier in all the three worlds?

 

Ädi 4.237

 

Therefore after offering obeisances to the devotees, for their

satisfaction I shall speak without hesitating.

Ädi 4.238
