Acknowledging an Earlier Description
“Whatever pastimes Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura has first described I have merely summarized.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura had already described certain pastimes.
- The author has merely summarized those previously described pastimes.
- He clearly acknowledges Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura’s earlier account rather than presenting those descriptions as his own.
