TEXT 267

kāhāṅ bhakta-mukhe kahāi śunilā āpane


SYNONYMS

bhakta lāgi'—especially for the purpose of His devotees; vistārilā—expansively described; āpana-vadane—personally, with His own mouth; kāhāṅ—sometimes; bhakta-mukhe—through the mouth of His devotees; kahāi—making describe; śunilā āpane—listened Himself.


TRANSLATION

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu broadcast the purpose of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. He sometimes spoke for the benefit of His devotees and sometimes empowered one of His devotees to speak while He listened.


PURPORT

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as an ideal teacher, or ācārya, explained Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam very elaborately Himself. He sometimes also empowered His devotees to speak while He listened. This is the way an ācārya should train His disciples. Not only should he describe the bhāgavata cult personally, but he should also train his disciples to speak on this sublime subject.
