SYNONYMS

prabhu kahe—Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu says; kaha—speak up; kene—why; kara—you do; sankoca-laje—in shame and embarrassment; granthera—of the book; phala—the fruit; sunaiba—you should make heard; vaisnava-samaje—in the society of pure devotees.

The Lord, however, encouraged Rupa Gosvami, saying, “Why are you embarrassed? You should recite it so the devotees can hear the good fruit of your writing.”
