from Caitanya Bhagavad about Lord Caitanya and Murari Gupta

[Paramananda das]

Another said, "I do not want any remnant food. I just want the food vessels." Yet another devotee said, "It has always been my duty to throw away the Lord's leaf plate, but now you are forcibly taking the remnants, simply showing your bossy nature." In this way the devotee used all cunning to steal some of the nectarean remnants touched by the lotus mouth of the Lord. And considering that the food was cooked by Mother Ai and then taken by the Supreme Lord, it was natural that everyone became so greedy for it. Happily licking their fingers after eating, they washed and came and sat in front of the Lord.
The Lord looked at the devotees sitting around Him and spotted Murari Gupta. The Lord smiled and said to him, "Murari, I heard that you have composed something about Lord Raghava in eight verses. Please read it." Murari began to read the verses in Sanskrit as if in a trance of ecstasy. The meanings of which are, "I constantly serve the lotus feet of Lord Ramacandra, the spiritual master of the three worlds, whose brother, Laksmana, is Lord Ananta. Laksmana is dressed in opulent kingly attire, with a bright golden complexion, always meditating on serving His older brother, Lord Rama, and who is a most expert archer and is always walking in front of the Lord.
"I constantly serve the lotus feet of Lord Ramacandra, the spiritual master of the three worlds, who with His family slew Khara, Trisira and Kabandha, thus clearing the idyllic forest of Dandaka of mischievous demons, who killed King Bali and made friends with Sugriva." Like this, Murari Gupta recited all the eight verses. Then on the Lord's instructions he began to explain the meanings of those verses.
Murari explained, "With a complexion like that of fresh durba grass, He is seated on a gem-studded majestic throne smiling benignly. Sri Janakidevi, Sita, is on His left. He is the supreme archer, teaching everyone the art of archery. He is the desire tree who more than fulfills all the yearning of His devotees. His younger brother, Laksmana is Lord Ananta Sesa.
He is constantly absorbed in serving His elder brother. Walking everywhere ahead of His elder brother, Laksmana is an extraordinary archer. Lustrous with a golden complexion, He dons a stately golden robe. Lord Ramacandra, the pride of the Raghu dynasty, is the supreme teacher of everyone. I worship His lotus feet birth after birth. Bharata and Satrughna fan Him with whisks, and Hanuman and his army of monkeys kneel with folded hands singing of their Lord's glorious activities.
I pray that birth after birth I may sing of His transcendental activities, for it is He who befriended and graced Guha, who belonged to the lower caste of dog eaters. The Lord willingly renounced the kingdom and crown on the instructions of His guru to live in the forest and perform divine deeds. He killed King Vali, and mercifully offering His friendship to Sugriva, He made him king. Everyone should take shelter of His lotus feet for He is the Lord of all the three worlds and He kindly liberated Ahaya. Worship the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord who built a bridge across the ocean with the help of the monkey army and Laksmana and later killed the demon, King Ravana, who was powerful enough to defeat even Indra, the king of the heavens.
Worship the lotus feet of the best of the Raghu kings. By His mercy, the devout Bibhisana became the king of Lanka although he was not in the least interested in the position. Such are the Lord's wondrous activities that even the Yavanas or Muslims are eager to hear His pastimes. He is always carrying His bow only to suppress the miscreants. He cares for His subjects in the kingdom just like His own children. By His mercy alone all the residents of Ayodhya were transported to the spiritual sky in their selfsame form and became permanent residents of Vaikuntha. Just worship the lotus feet of the Supreme Lord Raghavendra, who is eulogized in the Vedas as the Supreme Brahman, the Lord of the universe. Mahesvara, Lord Siva, looses his clothes intoxicated by the nectar of chanting His holy name, and Laksmidevi is eternally engaged in massaging His lotus feet."
Thus Murari Gupta recited and explained all the eight nectarean verses in praise of Lord Ramacandra composed by himself. Lord Caitanya was very satisfied with Murari Gupta, and He placed His lotus feet on Murari's head in blessing. The Lord said, "Listen, dear Gupta, I am blessing you that you can eternally serve the lotus feet of Lord Ramacandra. Whoever takes your shelter and association for a single moment will easily attain Lord Rama's lotus feet." The devotees resounded their loud approval hearing Lord shower His blessings upon Murari Gupta. In this way the magnanimous Lord dispensed boons to the devotees, always surrounded by the bee-like associates who are eternally attracted to the lotus feet of the Lord
