About Sri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu Jive Doya Kori

The seven-verse introduction to Saranagati as a whole, composed before the book turns to its structured treatment of the six limbs of surrender. Rather than opening with surrender to Kṛṣṇa directly, Bhaktivinoda begins by glorifying Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mercy toward fallen souls, following the standard Gaudiya Vaishnava convention that approach to Kṛṣṇa passes first through Him.
