Antya 18-1975: Rescuing the Lord from the Sea

Chapter 18

Rescuing the Lord from the Sea

A summary of the Eighteenth Chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda

Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. On an autumn evening when the moon

was full, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu walked along the seashore near the

Aitota temple. Mistaking the sea for the Yamuna River, He jumped into it,

hoping to see the water pastimes of Krsna and Srimati

Radharani and the other gopis. As He floated in the sea, however, He was

washed away to the Konarka temple, where a fisherman, thinking that the

Lord's body was a big fish, caught Him in his net and brought Him ashore.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was unconscious, and His body had become

unusually transformed. As soon as the fisherman touched the Lord's body,

he became mad in ecstatic love of Krsna. His own madness frightened him,

however, because he thought that he was being haunted by a ghost. As he

was about to seek a ghost charmer, he met Svarupa Damodara Gosvami and

the other devotees on the beach, who had been looking everywhere for the

Lord. After some inquiries, Svarupa Damodara could understand that the

fisherman had caught Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in his net. Since the

fisherman was afraid of being haunted by a ghost, Svarupa Damodara gave

him a slap and chanted Hare Krsna, which immediately pacified him.

Thereafter, when the devotees chanted the Hare Krsna maha-mantra loudly,

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to His external consciousness. Then they

brought Him back to His own residence.

the red lotus flower; e -- this; bada citra -- very wonderful; ei --

this; bada -- great; virodha-alankara -- metaphor of contradiction.

TRANSLATION

"The blue lotuses are friends of the sun-god, and though they all live

together, the blue lotuses plunder the cakravakas. The red lotuses,

however, blossom at night and are therefore strangers or enemies to the

cakravakas. Yet in Krsna's pastimes the red lotuses, which are the hands

of the gopis, protect their cakravaka breasts. This is a metaphor of

contradiction."

PURPORT

Because the blue lotus flower blossoms with the rising of the sun, the

sun is the friend of the blue lotus. The cakravaka birds also appear

when the sun rises, and therefore the cakravakas and blue lotuses meet.

Although the blue lotus is a friend of the sun, in Krsna's pastimes it

nevertheless plunders their mutual friend the cakravaka. Normally,

cakravakas move about whereas lotuses stand still, but herein Krsna's

hands, which are compared to blue lotuses, attack the breasts of the

gopis, which are compared to cakravakas. This is called a reverse

analogy. At night the red lotus blossoms, whereas in sunlight it closes.

Therefore the red lotus is an enemy to the sun and is unknown to the sun'

s friend the cakravaka. The gopis' breasts, however, are compared to

cakravakas and their hands to red lotuses protecting them. This is a

wonderful instance of reverse analogy.

Antya 18: Rescuing the Lord from the Sea
 
Chapter 18: 
 
Rescuing the Lord from the Sea
 
A summary of the Eighteenth Chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda 
Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. On an autumn evening when the moon 
was full, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu walked along the seashore near the 
Aitota temple. Mistaking the sea for the Yamuna River, He jumped into it,
 hoping to see the water pastimes Krsna enjoyed with Srimati 
Radharani and the other gopis. As He floated in the sea, however, He was 
washed away to the Konarka temple, where a fisherman, thinking that the 
Lord's body was a big fish, caught Him in his net and brought Him ashore.
 Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was unconscious, and His body had become 
unusually transformed. As soon as the fisherman touched the Lord's body, 
he became mad in ecstatic love of Krsna. His own madness frightened him, 
however, because he thought that he was being haunted by a ghost. As he 
was about to seek a ghost charmer, he met Svarupa Damodara Gosvami and 
the other devotees on the beach, who had been looking everywhere for the 
Lord. After some inquiries, Svarupa Damodara could understand that the 
fisherman had caught Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in his net. Since the 
fisherman was afraid of being haunted by a ghost, Svarupa Damodara gave 
him a slap and chanted Hare Krsna, which immediately pacified him. 
Thereafter, when the devotees chanted the Hare Krsna maha-mantra loudly, 
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to His external consciousness. Then they 
brought Him back to His own residence.

TRANSLATION
 
"The blue lotuses are friends of the sun-god, and though they all live 
together, the blue lotuses plunder the cakravakas. The red lotuses, 
however, blossom at night and are therefore strangers or enemies to the 
cakravakas. Yet in Krsna's pastimes the red lotuses, which are the hands 
of the gopis, protect their cakravaka breasts. This is a metaphor of 
contradiction."
 
PURPORT
 
Because the blue lotus flower blossoms with the rising of the sun, the 
sun is the friend of the blue lotus. The cakravaka birds also appear 
when the sun rises, and therefore the cakravakas and blue lotuses meet. 
Although the blue lotus is a friend of the sun, in Krsna's pastimes it 
nevertheless plunders their mutual friend the cakravaka. Normally, 
cakravakas move about whereas lotuses stand still, but herein Krsna's 
hands, which are compared to blue lotuses, attack the breasts of the 
gopis, which are compared to cakravakas. This is called a reverse 
analogy. At night the red lotus blossoms, whereas in sunlight it closes. 
Therefore the red lotus is an enemy of the sun and is unknown to the sun'
s friend the cakravaka. The gopis' breasts, however, are compared to 
cakravakas and their hands to red lotuses protecting them. This is a 
wonderful instance of reverse analogy.
