रक्षोदैत्यकुलं हतं कियदिदं योगादिवर्त्मक्रिया-
मार्गो वा प्रकटीकृतः कियदिदं सृष्ट्यादिकं वा कियत् ।
मेदिन्युद्धरणादिकं कियदिदं प्रेमोज्ज्वलाया महा-
भक्तेर्वर्त्मकरीं परां भगवतश्चैतन्य-मूर्तिं स्तुमः ॥

rakṣo-daitya-kulaṁ hataṁ kiyad idaṁ yogādi-vartma-kriyā-
mārgo vā prakaṭī-kṛtaḥ kiyad idaṁ sṛṣṭy-ādikaṁ vā kiyat |
mediny-uddharaṇādikaṁ kiyad idaṁ premojjvalāyā mahā-
bhakter vartma-karīṁ parāṁ bhagavataś caitanya-mūrtiṁ stumaḥ ||
(Caitanya-candrāmṛta: 7)

“How great is this killing of rākṣasas and Daityas? Or how great is this establishing the remedial processes of the paths of yoga and so on? Or how great is emanating and so on [manifesting, maintaining, and dissolving the material universes]? How great is saving the earth and so on? We adore only Bhagavān’s form of Śrī Caitanya, the establisher of the supreme path of bhakti resplendent with prema [i.e., in comparison to Śrī Caitanya, the best of all avatāras who has given the paramount spiritual gift, we do not highly praise the acts of Rāma, Nṛsiṁha, and others (who killed demons), Kapila and others (who taught yoga and other disciplines), Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva (who manifest and oversee saṁsāra), or Varāha and others (who saved the earth and performed other feats)].”
