TEXT 8
- se-kāle e-dui rahena mahāprabhura pāśe
- āra saba kaḍacā-kartā rahena dūra-deśe
SYNONYMS
se-kāle—in those days; e-dui—these two; rahena—stayed; mahāprabhura pāśe—with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; āra—other; saba—all; kaḍacā-kartā—commentators; rahena—remained; dūra-deśe—far away.
TRANSLATION
In those days, Svarūpa Dāmodara and Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī lived with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whereas all other commentators lived far away from Him.
PURPORT
Besides Svarūpa Dāmodara and Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, there were many others who also recorded Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s activities. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura believes that the people of the world would benefit greatly if such notes were available. It is a most unfortunate situation for human society that none of these notebooks is still extant.
