Below is the 1996 edition text, ready to be substituted with the 1975 one using the compile form.

TEXT 87

caitanya-maṅgale ihā likhiyāche sthāne-sthāne
satya kahena,—‘āge vyāsa kariba varṇane’


SYNONYMS

caitanya-maṅgale—in the book named Caitanya-maṅgala, now known as Caitanya-bhāgavata; ihā—this statement; likhiyāche—has written; sthāne-sthāne—in many places; satya—the truth; kahena—he says; āge—in the future; vyāsa kariba varṇane—Vyāsadeva will describe them more elaborately.


TRANSLATION

In the Caitanya-maṅgala, Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura has stated in many places the factual truth that in the future Vyāsadeva will describe the Lord’s pastimes elaborately.


PURPORT

The statement āge vyāsa kariba varṇane is similar to a text in the Caitanya-bhāgavata (Adi-khaṇḍa, 1.180) in which Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura says:

śeṣa-khaṇḍe caitanyera ananta vilāsa
vistāriyā varṇite āchena veda-vyāsa

“The unlimited pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu will be described by Vyāsadeva in the future.” Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura says that these statements indicate that in the future, other representatives of Vyāsadeva will elaborately describe Lord Caitanya’s pastimes. The purport is that any pure devotee in the disciplic succession who describes the pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is confirmed to be a representative of Vyāsadeva.
