If you want to be rid of the menace of the dog-like personality of Kali, then just sing the glories of the beautiful Son of Mother Śacī (Śacī-nandana). He is the savior of the Kali-yuga (Kali-yuga-pāvana), and He is the destroyer of all fear caused by the age of quarrel (Kali-bhoya-nāśana).
Lord Caitanya maddens Gadādhara Paṇḍita with His love (Gadādhar-mādana), and He is the treasure of the life of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu (Nitā'yer Prāṇa-dhana). The fair-complexioned Lord (Gorā) is the most worshipable object of Śrī Advaita Ācārya (Advaiter Prapūjita). He is affectionately called Nimāi by His mother, due to being born under a neem tree, and He has been named Viśvambhar (the holder of the universe) by His grandfather. He is the only Lord of Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita (Śrīnivās-īśwar), and He steals the hearts of all the assembled devotees (Bhakta-samūha-cita-corā).
Lord Caitanya is the moon over the town of Nadīyā (Nadīyā-śaśadhar), the Lord of Śrī Māyāpur-dhām (Māyāpur-īśwar), and the propagator of His own holy name (Nāma-pravartana). He is saintly in behavior (Sura), and is the instructor of householders (Gṛhi-jana-śikṣaka). He is the hero of those who are in the renounced order (Nyāsi-kula-nāyaka). He is the husband of the Goddess of Fortune (Mādhava), and He is overflowing with the ecstatic sentiments of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī (Rādhā-bhāva-pūra).
Lord Caitanya is the corrector and purifier of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya (Sārvabhauma-śodhana), the deliverer of King Pratāpa Rudra (Gajapati-tāraṇa), and the source of nourishment for Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya (Rāmānanda-pośaṇa). He is a great hero (Vīra). He increases the ecstasy of Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī (Rūpānanda-vardhana), He maintains and protects Śrīla Sanātana Goswāmī (Sanātana-pālana), and He gladdens Haridāsa Ṭhākura (Haridās-modana). He is very grave (Dhīra).
Lord Caitanya meditates on the transcendental mellows of Vraja-dhāma (Braja-rasa-bhāvana). He is the destroyer of all wicked mentalities (Duṣṭa-mata-śātana), and He crushes the cheating propensity of pretending devotees (Kapaṭī Vighātana). He is as beautiful as Cupid (Kāma). He maintains and protects His pure devotees (Śuddha-bhakta-pālana), and He condemns dry, speculative knowledge (Śuṣka-jñāna tāḍana). He smashes pretentious and hypocritical devotion (Chala-bhakti-dūṣaṇa), and He is the reservoir of pleasure (Rāma).
