Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 7.11

krsna-madhuryera eka adbhuta svabhava

apana asvadite krsna kare bhakta-bhava

SYNONYMS

krsna-madhuryera -- the supreme pleasure potency of Krsna; eka -- is one; adbhuta -- wonderful; svabhava -- nature; apana -- Himself; asvadite -- to taste; krsna -- the Supreme Personality of Godhead; kare -- does; bhakta-bhava -- accept the form of a devotee.

TRANSLATION

The transcendental mellow of conjugal love of Krsna is so wonderful that Krsna Himself accepts the form of a devotee to relish and taste it fully.

PURPORT

Although Krsna is the reservoir of all pleasure, He has a special intention to taste Himself by accepting the form of a devotee. It is to be concluded that although Lord Caitanya is present in the form of a devotee, He is Krsna Himself. Therefore Vaisnavas sing, sri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya: "Radha and Krsna combined together are Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu." And as Sri Svarupa Damodara Gosvami has said, caitanyakhyam prakatam adhuna tad-dvayam caikyam aptam: Radha and Krsna assumed oneness in the form of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
