Dekha Bhā=i Āgama Nigame
Suha-i-rāga
O my brothers, please look in the Agama and Nigama scriptures. No one is merciful like Lord Caitanya and Lord Nitāi. This the sinners do not know.
He who is the moon of Vṛndāvana and who in the Satya, Tretā, and Dvāpara-yugas taught meditation, yajṇa, and Deity worship, has now become the best of dancers. In this yuga He teaches the love the gopīs felt.
He who is the master of Gokula, who killed Kaṁsa and Keśī, and who was Yaśodā's little boy, has descended to the town of Navadvīpa. Now He is Lord Gaura-Hari. Now He delivers the sinners.
In this world He met Balarāma, His elder brother, and He also met His eternal associates. He taught the chanting of His holy names. He taught the glories of ecstatic spiritual love. Even the fallen Caṇḍālas He made swim in the tears of spiritual love flowing from their eyes.
The fools who rejected Lord Caitanya and who thought themselves great scholars and philosophers were all demons in their previous births. Dvija Mādhava Dāsa says: For this offense these fools were for a whole yuga be cheated of Lord Gaura's gift.
