Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 18.13
Even Ananta cannot describe one day fully
“If Ananta, with His one thousand hoods, tried to describe even one day’s pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He would find them impossible to describe fully.”
What the purport teaches
- Ananta has one thousand hoods.
- Even if He tried to describe just one day’s pastimes of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He could not describe them fully.
- This comparison emphasizes how much even a single day contains beyond a complete telling.

Ask yourself
What does Ananta’s inability to describe even one day fully invite you to appreciate?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
