I have thus given a synopsis of the madhya-lÄ«lÄ. Now please hear the pastimes the Lord performed during the last twelve years.
Thus ÅšrÄ«la KavirÄja GosvÄmÄ«, strictly following in the footsteps of ÅšrÄ« VyÄsadeva, gives a synopsis of the lÄ«lÄs of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya-caritÄmá¹›ta. He has given such a description at the end of each canto. In the Ä€di-lÄ«lÄ he outlined the pastimes of the Lord in the five stages of boyhood, leaving the details of the description to ÅšrÄ«la Vá¹›ndÄvana dÄsa ṬhÄkura. Now in this chapter the pastimes that took place at the end of the Lord’s life are summarized. These are described in the Madhya-lÄ«lÄ and Antya-lÄ«lÄ. The rest of the pastimes have been described in a synopsis in the second chapter of the Madhya-lÄ«lÄ. In this way the author has gradually described both the madhya-lÄ«lÄ and the antya-lÄ«lÄ.
