sloka needed about Lord caitanya from Caitanya Candramrta

[Guest guest]

DEarest dravida ji. Jaya Prabhupada.

 

much thanks for the quick sloka. I'm always indebted to my sloka memorizing

siksa guru, Dravida dasa. Now I understand how you protect your brahmacarya

in USA. You are a sloka relisher!

 

 

> yatha yatha--to whatever extent; gaura-padaravinde--xx;

> vindeta--finds; bhaktia--xx; kata-punya-racih--heaps of piety;

> tatha tatha -- to that extent; utsarpati--arises; hrdy--in the heart;

> akasmad--spontaneously; radha-padambhoja-sudhambu-racih--xx.

 

 

is this the correct word for word? If not correct it please. I pasted your

verse in my sloka.doc files (which uses balarama font and stores the slokas

I trying lately to memorize) but it still did not give the correct

diacritics.

 

also you didn't give the verse reference which I need to give devotees when

I'll quote it during my manah siksa seminar.

 

What's the verse number?

 

dravida ji, do you have a complete romanized sanskrit, w/w trans in MS word

format of sri Caitanya candramrita? Can you zip up and send the whole thing?

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

The translation for akasmat wasn't mine but Kusakratha's. From Monier

Williams we get "accidentally" or "suddenly." I guess suddenly makes the

most sense here. Thanks.

 

Your servant
