Confident that Lord Caitanya is in reality Lord Kṛṣṇa, Lord Advaita-candra and His associates worshiped Him at Śrīvāsa’s house. I remember Lord Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the shelter of Śrīdhara and the other devotees.

Text 22

श्रीवास-फाल्यं यवनं विशोढ्य

Revealing His transcendental qualities, He purified Śrīvāsa’s Muslim servant and transformed him into a pure devotee. I meditate on the golden moon of Lord Gaura, who is free of all material desire and maddened with pure love.

Happy to hear physician Murāri Gupta’s prayers glorifying Lord Rāma, He assumed the form of Lord Rāma. He also mercifully freed the devotee Mukunda from bad association. I meditate on Him, the philanthropist that gives the sweet nectar of pure devotional service.

Text 24

अज्ञापया च भगवान् अवधूत-दासौ

The Lord ordered His two avadhūta devotees (Lord Nityānanda and Haridāsa Ṭhākura) to give the holy names of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the master of Gokula, to all living entities, high and low, in all towns and villages, everywhere. I meditate on Lord Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who mercifully descended to this world.

Going with His elder brother to Advaita Acārya’s home, He spoke the pure truth to a wine-drinking hypocrite-sannyāsī in Lalita-purī. I meditate on Lord Caitanya, the auspicious abode of pure devotional service.

Text 26

māyā-haraṁ suvimalaṁ satataṁ smarāmi

When Advaita Acārya began to preach the fraud known as impersonal monism, Lord Caitanya suddenly started to beat Him on the back, lovingly forcing Him again to the path of devotional service. I eternally meditate on Lord Caitanya, who removes the illusions of māyā.

At Candraśekhara’s house He manifested the form of Lakṣmī-devī and fed with His milk the devotees present, who were all plunged in the ocean of pure devotional service. He showed His transcendental opulences to Vijaya Dāsa and delivered him. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, the abode of all transcendental potencies and opulences.

Accompanied by His devotees, He travelled to Godruma and many other villages, where He enjoyed many pastimes, bathed, ate, and continually chanted the holy names, hardly sleeping. Throughout the entire day I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, who grants the happiness of pure devotional service.

Accompanied by His saṅkīrtana party headed by Śrīnivāsa Acārya, He filled with pure love of God the hearts of Jagadānanda Vipra and many other fallen and sinful brāhmaṇas there. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, who is an ocean of pure love of God and the shelter of the fallen.

By being filled with ecstatī love He taught devotion to all the devotees. Merciful at heart, He washed away their faults. The giver of liberation, He explained devotional service in the company of devotees. I mediate on Lord Gaurāṅga, the form of forgiveness of the devotees’ faults.

After liberating Cānda Kāzī, the great enemy of the bliss of saṅkīrtana, again and again the Lord danced and chanted Kṛṣṇa’s holy name in all the towns and villages. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, who cured Kali’s disease, whose arms are very long, and who ecstatically dances in Navadvīpa-dhāma.

Gaṅga Dāsa, the physician Murāri Gupta, Kholaveca Śrīdhara, and Śuklāmbara Brahmacārī were full of love and devotion for Him. Śrīla Nārāyaṇī-devī was delighted to eat the remnants of His meal. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, the supreme person, whose form is splendid and transcendental.

Overwhelmed with love, He made Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura hear the supremely auspicious truth from the mouth of his dead son. I bow down before Lord Gaura, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is free of all duplicity, who delivers the living entities, and who gives to His servants an auspicious conception of life.

When He was overwhelmed by the gopīs’ love, some fools criticized Him. When with stick in hand the Lord struck them, they became enemies and planned their revenge. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, who became a splendid lion to punish those averse to Him.

With a mind to remove their offenses, when He was twenty-four years old He accepted sannyāsa from Keśava Bhāratī at Katwa in the month of Māgha. I meditate on Lord Caitanya, who is worshiped by the learned, His head shaved and a daṇḍa in His hand.

The Lord’s mother was brought there. Simultaneously joyful and grieving, she fed and protected her son for some days. Devotedly obeying His mother’s orders, the Lord went to Jagannātha Purī.

Leaving the Ganges shore and the water form of Lord Maheśa, in the beautiful gardens of Orissa He saw Kśīra-cora Gopīnātha, and in the village of Katwa He saw His own form of Lord Sākṣi-Gopāla. I meditate on Lord Gaurāṅga, who become absorbed in His own devotional service.
