Sri Caitanya Caritamrita. Adi-lila

Chapter 16: The Pastimes of the Lord in His Childhood and Youth. Text 76

'Å›rÄ«'-Å›abde, 'laká¹£mÄ«'-Å›abde — eka vastu ukta
punar-ukta-prÄya bhÄse, nahe punar-ukta

 Å›rÄ«-Å›abde - by the word Å›rÄ«; laká¹£mÄ«-Å›abde - by the word laká¹£mÄ«; eka vastu - one thing; ukta - is indicated; punar-ukta-prÄya - almost repetition; bhÄse - appears; nahe - but actually it is not; punar-ukta - repetition.


Text

“Although the words ‘śrī’ and ‘lakṣmī’ convey the same meaning and are therefore almost redundant, they are nevertheless not redundant.
