A
- A description of mana can be found in Madhya-lila (Chapter Two, verse 66). Similarly, a description of pranaya is also there

- A person may be a brahmana or a sudra or a sannyasi, but if he happens to be well versed in the science of Krsna, then he is fit to become a spiritual master - CC Madhya 8.128
- A predicate always follows its subject. Now I shall explain the meaning of this verse according to the revealed scriptures

- According to a verse of the Vedic mantras, parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate: the Supreme Personality of Godhead has different varieties of energies. Sakti is feminine, and the Lord is purusa, masculine
- According to the present verse of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta (CC Madhya 16.186, quoted from Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.33.6), it is understood that even a lowborn person can immediately perform sacrifices if he sincerely chants and hears the holy name of the Lord
- According to this verse (CC Madhya 16.186 - SB 3.33.6), an offenseless chanter of the holy name is already fit to perform a fire ceremony, even though he is not doubly initiated by the sacred thread ceremony
- Advaita Acarya considered the meaning of the verse in this way: "Not finding any way to repay the debt He owes to one who offers Him a tulasi leaf and water, Krsna thinks, 'There is no wealth in My possession that is equal to a tulasi leaf and water'
- After offering respects to Lord Caitanya, Krsnadasa Kaviraja begins offering them to Lord Nityananda in the seventh verse of the Caitanya-caritamrta. The author explains that Lord Nityananda is Balarama, who is the origin of Maha-Visnu - CC Intro
- All these obstructions (diplomatic behavior, animal-killing; mundane profiteering, adoration and importance) have been described in this verse (CC Madhya 19.159) as unwanted creepers. They simply present obstacles for the real creeper, the bhakti-lata
- Also in that chapter, the glories of maha-prasadam are explained, and a verse is tasted describing the effect of nectar from the lips of Krsna

- Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu refused to see Maharaja Prataparudra because he was a king, Ramananda Raya, by a Vaisnava scheme, arranged a meeting between the Lord and the King. This is described in the Madhya-lila, Chapter 12, verses 41-57 - of CC
- Although the meaning of the verse was known only to Svarupa Damodara, Rupa Gosvami, after hearing it from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, immediately composed another verse that described the meaning of the original verse

- Anuraga, bhava and mahabhava are described in the Sixth Chapter of the Madhya-lila, verse 13. The purport to that verse explains adhirudha-mahabhava
- As confirmed in Caitanya-caritamrta, kabhu svarge uthaya, kabhu narake dubaya: the conditioned soul sometimes descends into nescience and sometimes gets some relief by being relatively freed from it. This is the life of the conditioned soul
- As described by Srila Rupa Gosvami (anyabhilasita-sunyam (CC Madhya 19.167)), one must be devoid of all material desires
- As enunciated by Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, ceto-darpana-marjanam: (CC Antya 20.12) by chanting the holy name of the Lord, one is cleansed of the material conception of life, which is due to the dirty modes of material nature
- As explained by Krsnadasa Kaviraja in the previous verse & the current verse (CC Madhya 8.138-139): vrndavane "aprakrta navina madana", kama-gayatri kama-bije yanra upasana, purusa, yosit, kiba sthavara-jangama, sarva-cittakarsaka, saksat manmatha-madana

- As soon as one is trained as a pure Vaisnava, he must be accepted as a bona fide brahmana. This is the essence of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instructions in this verse - CC Madhya 8.128
- As soon as we see the sun rise in the morning, we arise and set about doing our morning duties. Similarly, as soon as a devotee sees the energy of God, he immediately remembers Krsna. This is explained in this verse: sarvatra haya nija ista-deva-sphurti
- As stated in verse 154 (visnu-saktih para prokta (CC Madhya 6.154)), the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the reservoir of all potencies, and His potencies are all spiritual

- By citing this verse (CC Madhya 3.6) from Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order recommended in Srimad-Bhagavatam

- Commenting on verses (of CC Adi12) 13 through 17, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura gives an extensive description of the descendants of Advaita Acarya

- During the misunderstanding with Sivananda’s family, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ordered His personal attendant, Govinda, to give them all the remnants of His food. This is described in (Caitanya-caritamrta) Antya-lila, Chapter Twelve, verse 53

- Explained in the Caitanya-caritamrta in a very simple verse, "As soon as I become servant of maya, then I shall create so many rascaldom in the name of philosophy and science." This is going on
