सन्त्ववतारा बहवः पङ्कजनाभस्य सर्वतोभद्राः ।
कृष्णादन्यः को वा लतास्वपि प्रेमदो भवति ॥
santv avatārā bahavaḥ paṅkaja-nābhasya sarvato-bhadrāḥ |
kṛṣṇād anyaḥ ko vā latāsv api prema-do bhavati ||
(Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura; cited in Laghu Bhāgavāmṛta: 1.5.37; Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 1.3.27)
“There may be many all-auspicious avatāras of he of lotus-navel [i.e. Bhagavān], but who other than Kṛṣṇa is the bestower of prema upon even creepers?”
