Adi7.20-21

TEXTS 20-21

sei panca-tattva mili’ prthivi asiya

purva-premabhandarera mudra ughadiya

pance mili’ lute prema, kare asvadana

yata yata piye, trsna badhe anuksana

SYNONYMS

sei—those; panca-tattva—five truths; mili’-combined together; prthivi—on this earth; asiya—descending; purva—original; prema-bhandarera—the store of transcendental love; mudra—seal; ughadiya—opening; pance mili’-mixing together all these five; lute—plunder; prema—love of Godhead; kare asvadana—taste; yata yata—as much as; piye—drink; trsna—thirst; badhe—increases; anuksana—again and again.

TRANSLATION

The characteristics of Krsna are understood to be a storehouse of transcendental love. Although that storehouse of love certainly came with Krsna when He was present, it was sealed. But when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came with His other associates of the Panca-tattva, they broke the seal and plundered the storehouse to taste transcendental love of Krsna. The more they tasted it, the more their thirst for it grew.

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is called maha-vadanyavatara because although He is Sri Krsna Himself, He is even more favorably disposed to the poor fallen souls than Lord Sri Krsna. When Lord Sri Krsna Himself was personally present He demanded that everyone surrender unto Him and promised that He would then give one all protection, but when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to this earth with His associates, He simply distributed transcendental love of God without discrimination. Sri Rupa Gosvami, therefore, could understand that Lord Caitanya was none other than Sri Krsna Himself, for no one but the Supreme Personality of Godhead can distribute confidential love of the Supreme Person.

Adi7.22

TEXT 22

punah punah piyaiya haya mahamatta

nace, kande, hase, gaya, yaiche mada-matta

SYNONYMS

punah punah—again and again; piyaiya—causing to drink; haya—becomes; maha-matta—highly ecstatic; nace—dances; kande—cries; hase—laughs; gaya—chants; yaiche—as if; mada-matta—one is drunk.

TRANSLATION

Sri Panca-tattva themselves danced again and again and thus made it easier to drink nectarean love of Godhead. They danced, cried, laughed and chanted like madmen, and in this way they distributed love of Godhead.

PURPORT

People generally cannot understand the actual meaning of chanting and dancing. Describing the Gosvamis, Sri Srinivasa Acarya stated, krsnotkirtana-gana-nartana-parau: not only did Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates demonstrate this chanting and dancing, but the six Gosvamis also followed in the next generation. The present Krsna consciousness movement follows the same principle, and therefore simply by chanting and dancing we have received good responses all over the world. It is to be understood, however, that this chanting and dancing do not belong to this material world. They are actually transcendental activities, for the more one engages in chanting and dancing, the more he can taste the nectar of transcendental love of Godhead.

Adi7.23

TEXT 23

patrapatra-vicara nahi, nahi sthanasthana

yei yanha paya, tanha kare prema-dana

SYNONYMS

patra—recipient; apatra—not a recipient; vicara—consideration; nahi—there is none; nahi—there is none; sthana—favorable place; asthana—unfavorable place; yei—anyone; yanha—wherever; paya—gets the opportunity; tanha—there only; kare—does; prema-dana—distribution of love of Godhead.

TRANSLATION

In distributing love of Godhead, Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates did not consider who was a fit candidate and who was not, nor where such distribution should or should not take place. They made no conditions. Wherever they got the opportunity the members of the Panca-tattva distributed love of Godhead.

PURPORT

There are some rascals who dare to speak against the mission of Lord Caitanya by criticizing the Krsna consciousness movement for accepting Europeans and Americans as brahmanas and offering them sannyasa. But here is an authoritative statement that in distributing love of Godhead one should not consider whether the recipients are Europeans, Americans, Hindus, Muslims, etc. The Krsna consciousness movement should be spread wherever possible, and one should accept those who thus become Vaisnavas as being greater than brahmanas, Hindus or Indians. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu desired that His name be spread in each and every town and village on the surface of the globe. Therefore, when the cult of Caitanya Mahaprabhu is spread all over the world, should those who embrace it not be accepted as Vaisnavas, brahmanas and sannyasis? These foolish arguments are sometimes raised by envious rascals, but Krsna conscious devotees do not care about them. We strictly follow the principles set down by the Panca-tattva.

Adi7.24

TEXT 24

lutiya, khaiya, diya, bhandara ujade

ascarya bhandara, prema sata-guna bade

SYNONYMS

lutiya—plundering; khaiya—eating; diya—distributing; bhandara—store; ujade—emptied; ascarya—wonderful; bhandara—store; prema—love of Godhead; sata-guna—one hundred times; bade—increases.

TRANSLATION

Although the members of the Panca-tattva plundered the storehouse of love of Godhead and ate and distributed its contents, there was no scarcity, for this wonderful storehouse is so complete that as the love is distributed, the supply increases hundreds of times.

PURPORT

A pseudoincarnation of Krsna once told his disciple that he had emptied himself by giving him all knowledge and was thus spiritually bankrupt. Such bluffers speak in this way to cheat the public, but actual spiritual consciousness is so perfect that the more it is distributed, the more it increases. Bankruptcy is a term that applies in the material world, but the storehouse of love of Godhead in the spiritual world can never be depleted. Krsna is providing for millions and trillions of living entities by supplying all their necessities, and even if all the innumerable living entities wanted to become Krsna conscious, there would be no scarcity of love of Godhead, nor would there be insufficiency in providing for their maintenance. Our Krsna consciousness movement was started single-handedly, and no one provided for our livelihood, but at present we are spending hundreds and thousands of dollars all over the world, and the movement is increasing more and more. Thus there is no question of scarcity. Although jealous persons may be envious, if we stick to our principles and follow in the footsteps of the Panca-tattva, this movement will go on unchecked by imitation svamis, sannyasis, religionists, philosophers or scientists, for it is transcendental to all material considerations. Therefore those who propagate the Krsna consciousness movement should not be afraid of such rascals and fools.

Adi7.25

TEXT 25

uchalila prema-vanya caudike vedaya

stri, vrddha, balaka, yuva, sabare dubaya

SYNONYMS

uchalila—became agitated; prema-vanya—the inundation of love of Godhead; caudike—in all directions; vedaya—surrounding; stri—women; vrddha—old men; balaka—children; yuva—young men; sabare—all of them; dubaya—merged into.

TRANSLATION

The flood of love of Godhead swelled in all directions, and thus young men, old men, women and children were all immersed in that inundation.

PURPORT

When the contents of the storehouse of love of Godhead is thus distributed, there is a powerful inundation that covers the entire land. In Sridhama Mayapura there is sometimes a great flood after the rainy season. This is an indication that from the birthplace of Lord Caitanya the inundation of love of Godhead should be spread all over the world, for this will help everyone, including old men, young men, women and children. The Krsna consciousness movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so powerful that it can inundate the entire world and interest all classes of men in the subject of love of Godhead.

Adi7.26

TEXT 26

saj-jana, durjana, pangu, jada, andha-gana

prema-vanyaya dubaila jagatera jana

SYNONYMS

sat-jana—gentle men; durjana—rogues; pangu—lame; jada—invalid; andha-gana—blind men; prema-vanyaya—in the inundation of love of Godhead; dubaila—drowned; jagatera—all over the world; jana—people.

TRANSLATION

The Krsna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind.

PURPORT

Here again it may be emphasized that although jealous rascals protest that Europeans and Americans cannot be given the sacred thread or sannyasa, there is no need even to consider whether one is a gentleman or a rogue because this is a spiritual movement which is not concerned with the external body of skin and bones. Because it is being properly conducted under the guidance of the Panca-tattva, strictly following the regulative principles, it has nothing to do with external impediments.

Adi7.27

TEXT 27

jagat dubila, jivera haila bija nasa

taha dekhi’ panca janera parama ullasa

SYNONYMS

jagat—the whole world; dubila—drowned; jivera—of the living entities; haila—it so became; bija—the seed; nasa—completely finished; taha—then; dekhi’-by seeing; panca—five; janera—of the persons; parama—highest; ullasa—happiness.

TRANSLATION

When the five members of the Panca-tattva saw the entire world drowned in love of Godhead and the seed of material enjoyment in the living entities completely destroyed, they all became exceedingly happy.

PURPORT

In this connection, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura writes in his Anubhasya that since the living entities all belong to the marginal potency of the Lord, each and every living entity has a natural tendency to become Krsna conscious, although at the same time the seed of material enjoyment is undoubtedly within him. The seed of material enjoyment, watered by the course of material nature, fructifies to become a tree of material entanglement that endows the living entity with all kinds of material enjoyment. To enjoy such material facilities is to be afflicted with the three material miseries. However, when by nature’s law there is a flood, the seeds within the earth become inactive. Similarly, as the inundation of love of Godhead spreads all over the world, the seeds of material enjoyment become impotent. Thus the more the Krsna consciousness movement spreads, the more the desire for material enjoyment decreases. The seed of material enjoyment automatically becomes impotent with the increase of the Krsna consciousness movement.

Instead of being envious that Krsna consciousness is spreading all over the world by the grace of Lord Caitanya, those who are jealous should be happy, as indicated here by the words parama ullasa. But because they are kanistha-adhikaris or prakrta-bhaktas (materialistic devotees who are not advanced in spiritual knowledge), they are envious instead of happy, and they try to find faults in the Krsna consciousness movement. Yet Srimat Prabodhananda Sarasvati writes in his Caitanya-candramrta that when influenced by Lord Caitanya’s Krsna consciousness movement, materialists become averse to talking about their wives and children, supposedly learned scholars give up their tedious studies of Vedic literature, yogis give up their impractical practices of mystic yoga, ascetics give up their austere activities of penance and austerity, and sannyasis give up their study of Sankhya philosophy. Thus they are all attracted by the bhakti-yoga practices of Lord Caitanya and cannot relish a mellow taste superior to that of Krsna consciousness.

Adi7.28

TEXT 28

yata yata prema-vrsti kare panca-jane

tata tata badhe jala, vyape tri-bhuvane

SYNONYMS

yata—as many; yata—so many; prema-vrsti—showers of love of Godhead; kare—causes; panca-jane—the five members of the Panca-tattva; tata tata—as much as; badhe—increases; jala—water; vyape—spreads; tri-bhuvane—all over the three worlds.

TRANSLATION

The more the five members of the Panca-tattva cause the rains of love of Godhead to fall, the more the inundation increases and spreads all over the world.

PURPORT

The Krsna consciousness movement is not stereotyped or stagnant. It will spread all over the world in spite of all objections by fools and rascals that European and American mlecchas cannot be accepted as brahmanas or sannyasis. Here it is indicated that this process will spread and inundate the entire world with Krsna consciousness.

TEXTS 29-30

mayavadi, karma-nistha kutarkika-gana

nindaka, pasandi yata paduya adhama

sei saba mahadaksa dhana palaila

sei vanya ta-sabare chunite narila

SYNONYMS

mayavadi—the impersonalist philosophers; karma-nistha—the fruitive workers; kutarkika-gana—the false logicians; nindaka—the blasphemers; pasandi—nondevotees; yata—all; paduya—students; adhama—the lowest class; sei saba—all of them; maha-daksa—they are very expert; dhana—running; palaila—went away; sei vanya—that inundation; ta-sabare—all of them; chunite—touching; narila—could not.

TRANSLATION

The impersonalists, fruitive workers, false logicians, blasphemers, nondevotees and lowest among the student community are very expert in avoiding the Krsna consciousness movement, and therefore the inundation of Krsna consciousness cannot touch them.

PURPORT

Adi7.31-32

TEXTS 31-32

taha dekhi’ mahaprabhu karena cintana

jagat dubaite ami karilun yatana

keha keha edaila, pratijna ha-ila bhanga

ta-saba dubaite patiba kichu ranga

SYNONYMS

taha dekhi’-observing this advancement; mahaprabhu—Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; karena—does; cintana—thinking; jagat—the whole world; dubaite—to drown; ami—I; karilun—endeavored; yatana—attempts; keha keha—some of them; edaila—escaped; pratijna—promise; ha-ila—became; bhanga—broken; ta-saba—all of them; dubaite—to make them drown; patiba—shall devise; kichu—some; ranga—trick.

TRANSLATION

Seeing that the Mayavadis and others were fleeing, Lord Caitanya thought: I wanted everyone to be immersed in this inundation of love of Godhead, but some of them have escaped. Therefore I shall devise a trick to drown them also.

PURPORT

Here is an important point. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to invent a way to capture the Mayavadis and others who did not take interest in the Krsna consciousness movement. This is the symptom of an acarya. An acarya who comes for the service of the Lord cannot be expected to conform to a stereotype, for he must find the ways and means by which Krsna consciousness may be spread. Sometimes jealous persons criticize the Krsna consciousness movement because it engages equally both boys and girls in distributing love of Godhead. Not knowing that boys and girls in countries like Europe and America mix very freely, these fools and rascals criticize the boys and girls in Krsna consciousness for intermingling. But these rascals should consider that one cannot suddenly change a community’s social customs. However, since both the boys and girls are being trained to become preachers, those girls are not ordinary girls but are as good as their brothers who are preaching Krsna consciousness. Therefore, to engage both boys and girls in fully transcendental activities is a policy intended to spread the Krsna consciousness movement. These jealous fools who criticize the intermingling of boys and girls will simply have to be satisfied with their own foolishness because they cannot think of how to spread Krsna consciousness by adopting ways and means that are favorable for this purpose. Their stereotyped methods will never help spread Krsna consciousness. Therefore, what we are doing is perfect by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, for it is He who proposed to invent a way to capture those who strayed from Krsna consciousness.

Adi7.33

TEXT 33

eta bali’ mane kichu kariya vicara

sannyasa-asrama prabhu kaila angikara

SYNONYMS

eta bali’-saying this; mane—within the mind; kichu—something; kariya—doing; vicara—consideration; sannyasa-asrama—the renounced order of life; prabhu—the Lord; kaila—did; angikara—accept.

TRANSLATION

Thus the Lord accepted the sannyasa order of life after full consideration.

PURPORT

There was no need for Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to accept sannyasa, for He is God Himself and therefore has nothing to do with the material bodily concept of life. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not identify Himself with any of the eight varnas and asramas, namely, brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra, brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha and sannyasa. He identified Himself as the Supreme Spirit. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, or for that matter any pure devotee, never identifies with these social and spiritual divisions of life, for a devotee is always transcendental to these different gradations of society. Nevertheless, Lord Caitanya decided to accept sannyasa on the grounds that when He became a sannyasi everyone would show Him respect and in that way be favored. Although there was actually no need for Him to accept sannyasa, He did so for the benefit of those who might think Him an ordinary human being. The main purpose of His accepting sannyasa was to deliver the Mayavadi sannyasis. This will be evident later in this chapter.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has explained the term “Mayavadi” as follows: “The Supreme Personality of Godhead is transcendental to the material conception of life. A Mayavadi is one who considers the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna to be made of maya and who also considers the abode of the Lord and the process of approaching Him, devotional service, to be maya. The Mayavadi considers all the paraphernalia of devotional service to be maya.” Maya refers to material existence, which is characterized by the reactions of fruitive activities. Mayavadis consider devotional service to be among such fruitive activities. According to them, when bhagavatas (devotees) are purified by philosophical speculation, they will come to the real point of liberation. Those who speculate in this way regarding devotional service are called kutarkikas (false logicians), and those who consider devotional service to be fruitive activity are also called karma-nisthas. Those who criticize devotional service are called nindakas (blasphemers). Similarly, nondevotees who consider devotional activities to be material are also called pasandis, and scholars with a similar viewpoint are called adhama paduyas.

The kutarkikas, nindakas, pasandis and adhama paduyas all avoided the benefit of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s movement of developing love of Godhead. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu felt compassion for them, and it is for this reason that He decided to accept the sannyasa order, for by seeing Him as a sannyasi they would offer Him respects. The sannyasa order is still respected in India. Indeed, the very dress of a sannyasi still commands respect from the Indian public. Therefore Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted sannyasa to facilitate preaching His devotional cult, although otherwise He had no need to accept the fourth order of spiritual life.

Adi7.34

TEXT 34

cabbisa vatsara chila grhastha-asrame

panca-vimsati varse kaila yati-dharme

SYNONYMS

cabbisa—twenty-four; vatsara—years; chila—He remained; grhastha—householder life; asrame—the order of; panca—five; vimsati—twenty; varse—in the year; kaila—did; yati-dharme—accepted the sannyasa order.

TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu remained in householder life for twenty-four years, and on the verge of His twenty-fifth year He accepted the sannyasa order.

PURPORT

Adi7.35

TEXT 35

sannyasa kariya prabhu kaila akarsana

yateka palanachila tarkikadigana

SYNONYMS

sannyasa—the sannyasa order; kariya—accepting; prabhu—the Lord; kaila—did; akarsana—attract; yateka—all; palanachila—fled; tarkika-adi-gana—all persons, beginning with the logicians.

TRANSLATION

After accepting the sannyasa order, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu attracted the attention of all those who had evaded Him, beginning with the logicians.

Adi7.36

TEXT 36

paduya, pasandi, karmi, nindakadi yata

SYNONYMS

paduya—students; pasandi—material adjusters; karmi—fruitive actors; nindaka-adi—critics; yata—all; tara—they; asi’-coming; prabhu—the Lord’s; paya—lotus feet; haya—became; avanata—surrendered.

TRANSLATION

Thus the students, infidels, fruitive workers and critics all came to surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord.

Adi7.37

TEXT 37

aparadha ksamaila, dubila prema-jale

keba edaibe prabhura prema-mahajale

SYNONYMS

aparadha—offense; ksamaila—excused; dubila—merged into; prema-jale—in the ocean of love of Godhead; keba—who else; edaibe—will go away; prabhura—the Lord’s; prema—loving; maha-jale—network.

TRANSLATION

Lord Caitanya excused them all, and they merged into the ocean of devotional service, for no one can escape the unique loving network of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was an ideal acarya. An acarya is an ideal teacher who knows the purpose of the revealed scriptures, behaves exactly according to their injunctions and teaches his students to adopt these principles also. As an ideal acarya, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu devised ways to capture all kinds of atheists and materialists. Every acarya has a specific means of propagating his spiritual movement with the aim of bringing men to Krsna consciousness. Therefore, the method of one acarya may be different from that of another, but the ultimate goal is never neglected. Srila Rupa Gosvami recommends:

tasmat kenapy upayena
manah krsne nivesayet
sarve vidhi-nisedha syur
etayor eva kinkarah

An acarya should devise a means by which people may somehow or other come to Krsna consciousness. First they should become Krsna conscious, and all the prescribed rules and regulations may later gradually be introduced. In our Krsna consciousness movement we follow this policy of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. For example, since boys and girls in the Western countries freely intermingle, special concessions regarding their customs and habits are necessary to bring them to Krsna consciousness. The acarya must devise a means to bring them to devotional service. Therefore, although I am a sannyasi I sometimes take part in getting boys and girls married, although in the history of sannyasa no sannyasi has personally taken part in marrying his disciples.

Adi7.38

TEXT 38

saba nistarite prabhu krpa-avatara

saba nistarite kare caturi apara

SYNONYMS

saba—all; nistarite—to deliver; prabhu—the Lord; krpa—mercy; avatara—incarnation; saba—all; nistarite—to deliver; kare—did; caturi—devices; apara—unlimited.

TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in order to deliver all the fallen souls. Therefore He devised many methods to liberate them from the clutches of maya.

PURPORT

It is the concern of the acarya to show mercy to the fallen souls. In this connection, desa-kala-patra (the place, the time and the object) should be taken into consideration. Since the European and American boys and girls in our Krsna consciousness movement preach together, less intelligent men criticize that they are mingling without restriction. In Europe and America boys and girls mingle unrestrictedly and have equal rights; therefore it is not possible to completely separate the men from the women. However, we are thoroughly instructing both men and women how to preach, and actually they are preaching wonderfully. Of course, we very strictly prohibit illicit sex. Boys and girls who are not married are not allowed to sleep together or live together, and there are separate arrangements for boys and girls in every temple. Grhasthas live outside the temple, for in the temple we do not allow even husband and wife to live together. The results of this are wonderful. Both men and women are preaching the gospel of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Krsna with redoubled strength. In this verse the words saba nistarite kare caturi apara indicate that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to deliver one and all. Therefore it is a principle that a preacher must strictly follow the rules and regulations laid down in the sastras yet at the same time devise a means by which the preaching work to reclaim the fallen may go on with full force.

Adi7.39

TEXT 39

tabe nija bhakta kaila yata mleccha adi

sabe edaila matra kasira mayavadi

SYNONYMS

tabe—thereafter; nija—own; bhakta—devotee; kaila—converted; yata—all; mleccha—one who does not follow the Vedic principles; adi—heading the list; sabe—all those; edaila—escaped; matra—only; kasira—of Varanasi; mayavadi—impersonalists.

TRANSLATION

All were converted into devotees of Lord Caitanya, even the mlecchas and yavanas. Only the impersonalist followers of Sankaracarya evaded Him.

PURPORT

In this verse it is clearly indicated that although Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu converted Muslims and other mlecchas into devotees, the impersonalist followers of Sankaracarya could not be converted. After accepting the renounced order of life, Caitanya Mahaprabhu converted many karma-nisthas who were addicted to fruitive activities, many great logicians like Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, nindakas (blasphemers) like Prakasananda Sarasvati, pasandis (nondevotees) like Jagai and Madhai, and adhama paduyas (degraded students) like Mukunda and his friends. All of them gradually became devotees of the Lord, even the Pathans (Muslims), but the worst offenders, the impersonalists, were extremely difficult to convert, for they very tactfully escaped the devices of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

In describing the Kasira Mayavadis, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has explained that persons who are bewildered by empiric knowledge or direct sensual perception, and who thus consider that even this limited material world can be gauged by their material estimations, conclude that anything that one can discern by direct sense perception is but maya, or illusion. They maintain that although the Absolute Truth is beyond the range of sense perception, it includes no spiritual variety or enjoyment. According to the Kasira Mayavadis, the spiritual world is simply void. They do not believe in the Personality of the Absolute Truth or in His varieties of activities in the spiritual world. Although they have their own arguments, which are not very strong, they have no conception of the variegated activities of the Absolute Truth. These impersonalists, who are followers of Sankaracarya, are generally known as Kasira Mayavadis.

Near Varanasi there is another group of impersonalists, who are known as Saranatha Mayavadis. Outside the city of Varanasi is a place known as Saranatha, where there is a big Buddhist stupa. Many followers of Buddhist philosophy live there, and they are known as Saranatha Mayavadis. The impersonalists of Saranatha differ from those of Varanasi, for the Varanasi impersonalists propagate the idea that the impersonal Brahman is truth whereas material varieties are false, but the Saranatha impersonalists do not even believe that the Absolute Truth or Brahman can be understood as the opposite of maya, or illusion. According to their vision, materialism is the only manifestation of the Absolute Truth.

Factually both the Kasira and Saranatha Mayavadis, as well as any other philosophers who have no knowledge of the spirit soul, are advocates of utter materialism. None of them have clear knowledge regarding the Absolute or the spiritual world. Philosophers like the Saranatha Mayavadis who do not believe in the spiritual existence of the Absolute Truth but consider material varieties to be everything do not believe that there are two kinds of nature, inferior (material) and superior (spiritual), as described in the Bhagavad-gita. Actually, neither the Varanasi nor Saranatha Mayavadis accept the principles of the Bhagavad-gita, due to a poor fund of knowledge.
