SYNONYMS
apara—unlimited; aisvarya—opulence; krsnera—of Lord Krsna; nahika ganana—there is no estimation; sakha-candra-nyaye—according to the logic of seeing the moon through the branches of a tree; kari—I make; dik-darasana—an indication only “No one can estimate the opulence of Krsna.
That is unlimited.
However, just as one sees the moon through the branches of a tree, I wish to give a little indication.”
PURPORT
First a child is shown the branches of a tree, and then he is shown the moon through the branches.
This is called sakha-candra-nyaya.
The idea is that first one must be given a simpler example.
Then the more difficult background is explained.
