Steadiness Like Lines on Stone

“Who could list the unlimited transcendental attributes of Raghunātha dāsa? His strict regulative principles were exactly like lines on a stone.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.309, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Raghunātha dāsa’s transcendental attributes were unlimited.
  • The words pāṣāṇera rekhā compare his strict observance of regulative principles to lines on a stone.
  • Just as those lines cannot be erased, his observance of the regulative principles could not be changed under any circumstances.
