The gaudiya vaishnava acharya Jiva Goswami in his commentary to 11.5.38 to 11.5.40 (available at www.granthamandira.org) says as follows: " kvacit kvacit gaudAdau SrI-krishna-caitanya-devAvatArena | dravideshu ca bhUrisah iti SrI-vaishnavAdy-apekshayA " I uderstand this to mean that by 'kvacit kvacit', it refers to the SrI Krishna caitanya who appeared in bengal and by 'dravidesu ca bhurisah' it specifically refers to the Sri Vaishnavas. ramanuja dasi vedavalli Ranganathan --- tesh_tel <tesh_tel@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jai Shri Krishna. > > I have come across two verses in chapter 5 of canto > 11 of the Srimad > Bhagavata purana, in these verse Narada, explians > how Sriman NArayam > is worshiped the varius yugas, and i would like to > know how these > verses are construed and Interpreted by in Sri > vaishnava > sampradaya. > > Fristly we have Sloka 32 (chapter 5, canto 11) > > > kṛṣṇa-varṇaḿ > tviṣākṛṣṇaḿ > > sāńgopāńgāstra-pārṣadam > yajñaiḥ > sańkīrtana-prāyair > yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ > > "In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform > congregational > chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who > constantly sings > the names of Kṛṣṇa.
