Adi-līlā, Chapter 13, Text 51

আদিলীলা–সূত্র লিখি, শুন, ভক্তগণ ।
সংক্ষেপে লিখিয়ে সম্যক্‌ না যায় লিখন ॥ ৫১ ॥

ādi-līlā-sūtra likhi, śuna, bhakta-gaṇa
saṅkṣepe likhiye samyak nā yāya likhana

Word by word

ādi-līlā — the first part of His pastimes; sūtra likhi — I write a synopsis; śuna — hear; bhakta-gaṇa — all you devotees; saṅkṣepe — in brief; likhiye — I write; samyak — full; nā — not; yāya — possible; likhana — to write.

Translation

My dear devotees of Lord Caitanya, let me now write a synopsis of the ādi-līlā; I write of these pastimes in brief because it is not possible to describe them in full.
