Each one is Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation, with a short study note. Open it to read the Bengali, word meanings and purport points.
The Lord’s desire to appear was born from two reasons: the Lord wanted to taste the sweet essence of the mellows of love of God, and He wanted to propagate devotional service in the world on the platform of spontaneous attraction. Thus He is known as supremely jubilant and as the most merciful of all.
Study note: The two linked purposes: relishing loving mellows and spreading devotional service through spontaneous attraction.
“ ‘Let there be all victory for the chanting of the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa, which can cleanse the mirror of the heart and stop the miseries of the blazing fire of material existence. That chanting is the waxing moon that spreads the white lotus of good fortune for all living entities. It is the life and soul of all education. The chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa expands the blissful ocean of transcendental life. It gives a cooling effect to everyone and enables one to taste full nectar at every step.’
Study note: The first Śikṣāṣṭaka prayer: glory of nāma-saṅkīrtana and purification of the heart.

Concept links, journeys and bridges are an editorial study map. Only the verses — in Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation — are the text itself. Prema, bhāva, mahābhāva and vipralambha are devotional terms, not psychological labels.
