Chapter 10: The Trunk, Branches and Sub-branches of the Caitanya Tree
çré-caitanya-padämbhoja-
madhupebhyo namo namaù
kathaïcid äçrayäd yeñäà
çväpi tad-gandha-bhäg bhavet
Let me repeatedly offer my respectful obeisances unto the beelike devotees who always taste the honey of the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu. If even a doggish non-devotee somehow takes shelter of such devotees, he enjoys the aroma of the lotus flower.
Considerations to be taken regarding the branches and sub-branches.
1)In this chapter mostly those devotees who were closely related to Lord Caitanya in Bengal and Orissa are listed.
2)“The associates of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu were many, but none of them should be considered lower or higher. This cannot be ascertained.” (t.4)
The main branches and sub-branches of the Caitanya tree. (8/123)
