Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta is divided into three sections, called līlās, a word that literally means "pastimes"—the Ādi-līlā (recounting the early period of Lord Caitanya's pastimes), the Madhya-līlā (recounting the middle period), and the Antya-līlā (recounting the final period). The notes of Murāri Gupta form the basis of the Ādi-līlā, and Svarūpa Dāmodara's diary provides the details for the Madhya- and Antya-līlās.
