CC Ādi 9.26

Adi-līlā, Chapter 9, Text 26

মূলস্কন্ধের শাখা আর উপশাখাগণে ।
লাগিলা যে প্রেমফল,—অমৃতকে জিনে ॥ ২৬ ॥

mūla-skandhera śākhā āra upaśākhā-gaṇe
lāgilā ye prema-phala, — amṛtake jine

Word by word

mūla-skandhera — of the chief trunk; śākhā — branches; āra — and; upaśākhā-gaṇe — subbranches; lāgilā — as it grew; ye — that; prema-phala — the fruit of love; amṛtake jine — such a fruit conquers nectar.

Translation

Since Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu was the original trunk, the taste of the fruits that grew on the branches and subbranches surpassed the taste of nectar.
