Translation
In a faltering voice, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu again said, “Alas, go on reading, Rāma Rāya.” Thus Rāmānanda Rāya began to read a verse. While listening to this verse, the Lord was sometimes very jubilant and sometimes overcome by lamentation. Afterwards the Lord personally explained the verse. ¶
