The object of this little book is to bring the holy life of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His precepts to the notice of the educated and religious people. Most of the books treating these subjects have hitherto been printed in the Bengali language. Hence, the life and precepts of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu have scarcely passed beyond the boundaries of Bengal. A book has, therefore, been printed in Sanskrit type for circulation all over India. Our educated brethren of Europe and America have taken, of late, to the study of the Sanskrit language, and it is our belief that this booklet will go to heir hands in a very short time. This book contains 104 verses with copious commentaries. It makes a succint mention of all the anecdotes of the life of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprahhu as related in the famous book Chaitanya Charitamrita by Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami. Verses 75 to 86 inclusive will give an outline of the precepts of that great personage, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. With a view to help our English readers in going through the book, we have here summarized in English the contents of the work.
