# Cc. Ādi 1.31 > সকল বৈষ্ণব, শুন করি’ একমন । > চৈতন্য-কৃষ্ণের শাস্ত্র-মত-নিরূপণ ॥৩১॥ ## Text > sakala vaiṣṇava, śuna kari' eka-mana > caitanya-kṛṣṇera śāstra-mata-nirūpaṇa ## Synonyms *sakala*—all; *vaiṣṇava*—O devotees of the Lord; *śuna*—please hear; *kari'*—making; *eka-mana*—rapt attention; *caitanya*—Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *kṛṣṇera*—of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa; *śāstra*—scriptural reference; *mata*—according to; *nirūpaṇa*—decision. ## Translation **I request all my Vaiṣṇava readers to read and hear with rapt attention this narration of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya as inculcated in the revealed scriptures.** ## Purport Lord Caitanya is the Absolute Truth, Kṛṣṇa Himself. This is substantiated by evidence from the authentic spiritual scriptures. Sometimes people accept a man as God on the basis of their whimsical sentiments and without reference to the revealed scriptures, but the author of *Caitanya-caritāmṛta* proves all his statements by citing the *śāstras.* Thus he establishes that Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
