yathā rādhā-padāmbhoje bhaktiḥ syāt prema-lakṣaṇā |
tathaiva kṛṣṇa-caitanye vardhate madhurā ratiḥ ||
(Caitanya-śataka: 18)
“As far as bhakti characterized by prema for the lotus feet of Rādhā shall manifest, so indeed sweet rati increases for Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.”
saṅkīrtanārambha-kṛte’pi gaure
dhāvanti jīva-śravaṇe guṇāni |
aśuddha-cittāḥ kim u śuddha-cittāḥ
śrutvā pramattāḥ khalu te nanartuḥ ||
(Caitanya-śataka: 32)
“Even when Gaura had just begun his saṅkīrtana, the qualities [of the name] purified the ears of the jīvas. Those of impure mind, and all the more those of pure mind, upon hearing [the saṅkīrtana], became indeed maddened and danced.”
