TRANSLATION
"My dear sir, according to Your bodily features and Your behavior, You are
the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such behavior and features are impos­
sible for ordinary living beings , for they cannot possess such transcendental
qualities.''
PURPORT
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's bodily features were uncommon. Indeed, His body
was extraordinary in its measurements. The measurement of His chest as well as
the measurement of His forearms were the same length. This is called nyagrodha­
parimaQc;lala. As far as His nature is concerned, He was kind to everyone. No one
but the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be kind to everyone. Therefore the
Lord's name is Kr�l)a, all-attractive. As stated in Bhagavad-gita (14.4), Kr�r:'la is kind
to everyone. In every species of life (sarva-yoni�u), He is the original father, the
seed-giver (bija-pradab pita). How, then, can He be unkind to any living entity?
