Caitanya Mahaprabhu, because these rascals, they have misunderstood Krsna — “Why shall I surrender to Krsna? I am also Krsna” — therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu, without any condition, He’s distributing krsna-prema.  Krsna-prema is not so easy thing. First of all one cannot understand Krsna. And what is krsna-prema?

manusyanam sahasresu
kascid yatati siddhaye
yatatam api siddhanam
[Bg 7.3]

Big, big personalities, they cannot understand Krsna, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so kind that in this age He understood that these rascals, they’ll not understand what is Krsna, and what to speak about krsna-prema? [train passing overhead on bridge] Therefore Rupa Gosvami offers the prayer, namo maha-vadanyaya: “Most munificent avatara.” There are many avataras of Krsna: advaitam acyutam anadir ananta-rupam [Bs 5.33].

He has got many millions and millions of avataras. But this avatara, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, is the most munificent, kind, merciful avatara. In every avatara He takes two parts,

paritrana sadhunam
vinasaya ca duskrti
[Bg 4.8]

Cut off the head these rascals. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu does not. He, without any comparison, He is giving krsna-prema, krsna-prema-pradaya te.
