PURPORT
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s bodily features were uncommon.
Indeed, His body was extraordinary in its measurements.
The measurement of His chest and the measurement of His forearms were the same length.
This is called nyagrodha-parimandala.
As far as His nature is concerned, He was kind to everyone.
No one but the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be kind to everyone.
Therefore the Lord’s name is Krsna, “all-attractive.” As stated in the Bhagavad-gita (14.4), Krsna is kind to everyone.
In every species of life (sarva-yonisu), He is the original father, the seed-giver (bija-pradah pita).
How, then, can He be unkind to any living entity? One may be a man, an animal or even a tree, but the Lord is kind to everyone.
That is God’s qualification.
He also says in the Bhagavad-gita (9.29), samo ’ham sarva-bhutesu: the Lord is equally kind to everyone.
And He advises, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja.
This instruction is meant not only for Arjuna but for all living entities.
Whoever takes advantage of this offer is immediately immune to all sinful activity and returns home, back to Godhead.
While present on this planet, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu made the same offer.
