sloka needed about Lord caitanya from Caitanya Candramrta

[Guest guest]

Dear Dravida Prabhu,

 

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

you very much for sending the translation. I thought of responding to

Mahamantra Prabhu's request. However, you sent it before I could.

 

One small question - won't 'all of a sudden' be a more appropreate

translation of the word 'akasmat'. I am sure you have reasons to translate

it as 'spontenous', but I was under the impression that as one renders

devotinal service to the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accordingly

'all of a sudden his heart becomes inundated with the nectar emanating from

the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani.'

 

Your servant,

Bhakti Caru Swami.
