Lord Caitanya in Five Features

Cc Ādi 7.28-32
Text
yata yata prema-vṛṣṭi kare pañca-jane
tata tata bāḍhe jala, vyāpe tri-bhuvane
Synonyms

yata-as many; yata-so many; prema-vṛṣṭi-showers of love of Godhead; kare-causes; pañca-jane-the five members of the Pañca-tattva; tata tata-as much as; bāḍhe-increases; jala-water; vyāpe-spreads; tri-bhuvane-all over the three worlds.

Translation

The more the five members of the Pañca-tattva cause the rains of love of Godhead to fall, the more the inundation increases and spreads all over the world.

Purport

Seeing that the Māyāvādīs and others were fleeing, Lord Caitanya thought: I wanted everyone to be immersed in this inundation of love of Godhead, but some of them have escaped. Therefore I shall devise a trick to drown them also.
