Antya 16: Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Tastes Nectar from the Lips of
Lord Sri Krsna
Chapter 16:
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Tastes Nectar from the Lips of Lord Sri
Krsna
The Sixteenth Chapter is summarized by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his
Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. When the Bengali devotees of the Lord returned to
Jagannatha Puri, a gentleman named Kalidasa, who was an uncle of
Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, went with them to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Kalidasa had tasted the remnants of food of all the Vaisnavas in Bengal,
even Jhadu Thakura. Because of this, he received the shelter of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri.
When Kavi-karnapura was only seven years old, he was initiated by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu into the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. He later became the
greatest poet among the Vaisnava acaryas.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ate the remnants of food known as vallabha-
bhoga, He described the glories of such remnants of the Lord's food and
then fed all the devotees the prasadam. Thus they all tasted adharamrta,
the nectar from the lips of Lord Sri Krsna.

When he used to throw dice in jest, he would chant Hare Krsna while
throwing the dice.
PURPORT
In this connection Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura warns the men
of this age not to imitate the jesting of a maha-bhagavata like Kalidasa.
If someone imitates him by playing with dice or gambling while chanting
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, he will certainly become a victim of
offenses unto the holy name. As it is said, hari-nama-bale pape pravrtti:
one must not commit sinful activities on the strength of chanting the
Hare Krsna mantra. Playing with dice is certainly gambling, but it is
clearly said here that Kalidasa did this only in jest. A maha-bhagavata
can do anything, but he never forgets the basic principles. Therefore it
is said, tara vakya, kriya-mudra vijneha na bujhaya: [Cc. Madhya 23.39] "
No one can understand the activities of a pure devotee." We should not
imitate Kalidasa.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura remarks, "Both Kalidasa and
Jhadu Thakura are worshiped at a place called Sripatabati, in the

miles south of the village of Krsnapura, the birthplace of Raghunatha
dasa Gosvami, which is about one mile west of the Byandel junction of
the Burdwan line. A post office there is named Devananda-pura. Jhadu
Thakura used to worship the Deity of Sri Madana-gopala. The Deity is
still worshiped by one Ramaprasada dasa, who belongs to the Ramayet
community. It is said that the Deity worshiped by Kalidasa had been
worshiped until now in the village of Sankhya on the bank of the
Sarasvati River, but the Deity has been taken away by a gentleman named
Matilala Cattopadhyaya from the village of Triveni. The Deity is now

"‘A person may be born in a brahmana family and have all twelve
brahminical qualities, but if in spite of being qualified he is not
devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Krsna, who has a navel shaped like a
lotus, he is not as good as a candala who has dedicated his mind, words,
activities, wealth and life to the service of the Lord. Simply to take
birth in a brahmana family or to have brahminical qualities is not
sufficient. One must become a pure devotee of the Lord. If a sva-paca or
candala is a devotee, he delivers not only himself but his whole family,
whereas a brahmana who is not a devotee but simply has brahminical
qualifications cannot even purify himself, what to speak of his family.'

TRANSLATION
"Such a position may befit others, but I do not possess such spiritual

PURPORT
In his statement, Jhadu Thakura presents himself as being born in a low-
caste family and not having the qualifications of a bona fide devotee of
Lord Krsna. He accepts the statements declaring a lowborn person highly
exalted if he is a Vaisnava. However, he feels that these descriptions
from Srimad-Bhagavatam appropriately describe others, but not himself.
Jhadu Thakura's attitude is quite befitting a real Vaisnava, for a
Vaisnava never considers himself exalted, even if he factually is. He is
always meek and humble and never thinks that he is an advanced devotee.
He assigns himself to a lower position, but that does not mean he is
indeed low. Sanatana Gosvami once said that he belonged to a low-caste
family, for although he was born in a brahmana family, he had associated
with mlecchas and yavanas in his service as a government minister.
Similarly, Jhadu Thakura presented himself as someone who belonged to a
low caste, but he was actually elevated above many persons born in
brahmana families. Not only is there evidence for this in Srimad-
Bhagavatam, as quoted by Kalidasa in verses 26 and 27, but there is also
considerable evidence for this conclusion in other sastras. For example,
in the Mahabharata (Vana-parva, 177.20), it is stated:
sudre tu yad bhavel laksma dvije tac ca na vidyate
na vai sudro bhavec chudro brahmano na ca brahmanah
"If someone born a sudra possesses the characteristics of a brahmana and
someone born a brahmana does not, that sudra should not be known as a
sudra, and that brahmana should not be known as a brahmana."
Similarly, in the Vana-parva, Chapter 203.11–12, it is said:
sudra-yonau hi jatasya
sad-gunanupatisthatah
arjave vartamanasya
brahmanyam abhijayate
"If a person born in a sudra family has developed the qualities of a
brahmana, such as satya [truthfulness], sama [peacefulness], dama [self-
control] and arjava [simplicity], he attains the exalted position of a
brahmana."
And in the Anusasana-parva, Chapter 163, it is said:
sthito brahmana-dharmena brahmanyam upajivati
ksatriyo vatha vaisyo va brahma-bhuyah sa gacchati
ebhis tu karmabhir devi subhair acaritais tatha
sudro brahmanatam yati vaisyah ksatriyatam vrajet
na yonir napi samskaro na srutam na ca santatih
karanani dvijatvasya vrttam eva tu karanam
"If one is factually situated in the occupation of a brahmana, he must
be considered a brahmana, even if born in a ksatriya or vaisya family. O
Devi, even if one is born a sudra, if he is actually engaged in the
occupation and pure behavior of a brahmana, he becomes a brahmana.
Moreover, a vaisya can become a ksatriya. Therefore, neither the source
of one's birth nor his reformation nor his education is the criterion of
a brahmana. The vrtta, or occupation, is the real standard by which one
is known as a brahmana."
We have seen that a person who is not the son of a doctor and has not
attended a medical college is sometimes able to practice medicine. By
practical knowledge of how to perform a surgical operation, how to mix
medicine and how to give certain medicines for certain diseases, a
person can receive a certificate and be registered as a medical
practitioner in the practical field. He can do a medical man's work and
be known as a doctor. Although qualified medical men may consider him a
quack, the government will recognize his work. Especially in India,
there are many such doctors who perform their medical services perfectly.
They are accepted even by the government. Similarly, if one is engaged
in brahminical service or occupational duties, he must be considered a
brahmana despite the family in which he is born. That is the verdict of
all the sastras.
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.11.35), it is said:
yasya yal laksanam proktam pumso varnabhivyanjakam
yad anyatrapi drsyeta tat tenaiva vinirdiset
This is a statement by Narada Muni to Maharaja Yudhisthira, wherein
Narada says that the symptoms of a brahmana, ksatriya and vaisya are all
described in the sastra. Therefore, if one is found exhibiting the
symptoms and qualities of a brahmana, ksatriya or vaisya and serving in
a brahminical, ksatriya or vaisya occupation, even if he is not born a
brahmana, ksatriya or vaisya he should be considered such according to
his qualifications and occupation.
Similarly, in the Padma purana it is said:
na sudra bhagavad-bhaktas te tu bhagavata matah
sarva-varnesu te sudra ye na bhakta janardane
"A devotee should never be considered a sudra. All the devotees of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead should be recognized as bhagavatas. If
one is not a devotee of Lord Krsna, however, even if born in a brahmana,
ksatriya or vaisya family, he should be considered a sudra."
In the Padma Purana it is also said:
sva-pakam iva nekseta loke vipram avaisnavam
vaisnavo varno-bahyo ‘pi punati bhuvana-trayam
"If a person born in a brahmana family is an avaisnava, a nondevotee,
one should not see his face, exactly as one should not look upon the
face of a candala, or dog-eater. However, a Vaisnava found in varnas
other than brahmana can purify all the three worlds."
The Padma Purana further says:
sudram va bhagavad-bhaktam nisadam sva-pacam tatha
viksate jati-samanyat sa yati narakam dhruvam
"One who considers a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who
was born in a family of sudras, nisadas or candalas to belong to that
particular caste certainly goes to hell."
A brahmana must be a Vaisnava and a learned scholar. Therefore in India
it is customary to address a brahmana as pandita. Without knowledge of
Brahman, one cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Therefore a Vaisnava is already a brahmana, whereas a brahmana may
become a Vaisnava. In the Garuda Purana it is said:
bhaktir asta-vidha hy esa yasmin mlecche ‘pi vartate
sa viprendro muni-sresthah sa jnani sa ca panditah
"Even if one is born a mleccha, if he becomes a devotee he is to be
considered the best of the brahmanas and a learned pandita."
Similarly, the Tattva-sagara says:
yatha kancanatam yati kamsyam rasa-vidhanatah
tatha diksa-vidhanena dvijatvam jayate nrnam
"As bell metal is turned to gold when mixed with mercury in an
alchemical process, so one who is properly trained and initiated by a
bona fide spiritual master becomes a brahmana immediately." All this
evidence found in the revealed scriptures proves that according to the
Vedic version, a Vaisnava is never to be considered an abrahmana, or non-
brahmana. A Vaisnava should not be thought to belong to a lower caste
even if born in a mleccha or yavana family. Because he has become a
devotee of Lord Krsna, he has become purified and has attained the stage
of brahmana (dvijatvam jayate nrnam).

TRANSLATION
"My dear lover," Lord Caitanya said in the mood of Srimati Radharani, "
let Me describe some of the characteristics of Your transcendental lips.
They agitate the mind and body of everyone, they increase lusty desires
for enjoyment, they destroy the burden of material happiness and
lamentation, and they make one forget all material tastes. The whole
world falls under their control. They vanquish shame, religion and
patience, especially in women. Indeed, they inspire madness in the minds
of all women. Your lips increase the greed of the tongue and thus
attract it. Considering all this, We see that the activities of Your
transcendental lips are always paradoxical.

more nectarean; gaya -- chants; dina-hina -- the most wretched;
krsnadasa -- Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami.
TRANSLATION
Expecting the mercy of Svarupa, Rupa, Sanatana and Raghunatha dasa, and
taking their lotus feet on my head, I, the most fallen Krsnadasa,
continue chanting the epic Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, which is sweeter
than the nectar of transcendental bliss.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-
lila, Sixteenth Chapter, describing the nectar flowing from Sri Krsna's
lotus lips.

Antya 16: Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Tastes Nectar from the Lips of
Lord Sri Krsna
Chapter 16:
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Tastes Nectar from the Lips of Lord Sri
Krsna
The Sixteenth Chapter is summarized by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his
Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. When the Bengali devotees of the Lord returned to
Jagannatha Puri, a gentleman named Kalidasa, who was an uncle of
Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, went with them to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Kalidasa had tasted the remnants of food of all the Vaisnavas in Bengal,
even Jhadu Thakura. Because of this, he received the shelter of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri.
When Kavi-karnapura was only seven years old, he was initiated by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu into the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. He later became the
greatest poet among the Vaisnava acaryas.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ate the remnants of food known as vallabha-
bhoga, He described the glories of such remnants of the Lord's food and
then fed all the devotees the prasadam. Thus they all tasted adharamrta,
the nectar from the lips of Lord Sri Krsna.

PURPORT
In this connection Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura warns the men
of this age not to imitate the jesting of a maha-bhagavata like Kalidasa.
If someone imitates him by playing with dice or gambling while chanting
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, he will certainly become a victim of
offenses unto the holy name. As it is said, hari-nama-bale pape pravrtti:
one must not commit sinful activities on the strength of chanting the
Hare Krsna mantra. Playing with dice is certainly gambling, but it is
clearly said here that Kalidasa did this only in jest. A maha-bhagavata
can do anything, but he never forgets the basic principles. Therefore it
is said, tara vakya, kriya-mudra vijneha na bujhaya: [Cc. Madhya 23.39] "
No one can understand the activities of a pure devotee." We should not
imitate Kalidasa.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura remarks, "Both Kalidasa and
Jhadu Thakura are worshiped at a place called Sripatabati, in the
village known as Bhedo or Bhaduya. This village is situated about three
miles south of the village of Krsnapura, the birthplace of Raghunatha
dasa Gosvami, which is about one mile west of the Byandel junction of
the Burdwan line. A post office there is named Devananda-pura. Jhadu
Thakura used to worship the Deity of Sri Madana-gopala. The Deity is
still worshiped by one Ramaprasada dasa, who belongs to the Ramayet
community. It is said that the Deity worshiped by Kalidasa had been
worshiped until recently in the village of Sankha, on the bank of the
Sarasvati River, but the Deity was taken away by a gentleman named
Matilala Cattopadhyaya from the village of Triveni. The Deity is now
being worshiped at his place."

"‘A person may be born in a brahmana family and have all twelve
brahminical qualities, but if in spite of being qualified he is not
devoted to the lotus feet of Lord Krsna, who has a navel shaped like a
lotus, he is not as good as a candala who has dedicated his mind, words,
activities, wealth and life to the service of the Lord. Simply to take
birth in a brahmana family or to have brahminical qualities is not
sufficient. One must become a pure devotee of the Lord. If a sva-paca or
candala is a devotee, he delivers not only himself but his whole family,
whereas a brahmana who is not a devotee but simply has brahminical
qualifications cannot even purify himself, what to speak of his family.'

TRANSLATION
"Such a position may befit others, but I do not possess such spiritual

PURPORT
In his statement, Jhadu Thakura presents himself as being born in a low-
caste family and not having the qualifications of a bona fide devotee of
Lord Krsna. He accepts the statements declaring a lowborn person highly
exalted if he is a Vaisnava. However, he feels that these descriptions
from Srimad-Bhagavatam appropriately describe others, but not himself.
Jhadu Thakura's attitude is quite befitting a real Vaisnava, for a
Vaisnava never considers himself exalted, even if he factually is. He is
always meek and humble and never thinks that he is an advanced devotee.
He assigns himself to a lower position, but that does not mean he is
indeed low. Sanatana Gosvami once said that he belonged to a low-caste
family, for although he was born in a brahmana family, he had associated
with mlecchas and yavanas in his service as a government minister.
Similarly, Jhadu Thakura presented himself as someone who belonged to a
low caste, but he was actually elevated above many persons born in
brahmana families. Not only is there evidence for this in Srimad-
Bhagavatam, as quoted by Kalidasa in verses 26 and 27, but there is also
considerable evidence for this conclusion in other sastras. For example,
in the Mahabharata (Vana-parva, 177.20), it is stated:
sudre tu yad bhavel laksma dvije tac ca na vidyate
na vai sudro bhavec chudro brahmano na ca brahmanah
"If someone born a sudra possesses the characteristics of a brahmana and
someone born a brahmana does not, that sudra should not be known as a
sudra, and that brahmana should not be known as a brahmana."
Similarly, in the Vana-parva, Chapter 203.11–12, it is said:
sudra-yonau hi jatasya
sad-gunanupatisthatah
arjave vartamanasya
brahmanyam abhijayate
"If a person born in a sudra family has developed the qualities of a
brahmana, such as satya [truthfulness], sama [peacefulness], dama [self-
control] and arjava [simplicity], he attains the exalted position of a
brahmana."
And in the Anusasana-parva, Chapter 163, it is said:
sthito brahmana-dharmena brahmanyam upajivati
ksatriyo vatha vaisyo va brahma-bhuyah sa gacchati
ebhis tu karmabhir devi subhair acaritais tatha
sudro brahmanatam yati vaisyah ksatriyatam vrajet
na yonir napi samskaro na srutam na ca santatih
karanani dvijatvasya vrttam eva tu karanam
"If one is factually situated in the occupation of a brahmana, he must
be considered a brahmana, even if born in a ksatriya or vaisya family. O
Devi, even if one is born a sudra, if he is actually engaged in the
occupation and pure behavior of a brahmana, he becomes a brahmana.
Moreover, a vaisya can become a ksatriya. Therefore, neither the source
of one's birth nor his reformation nor his education is the criterion of
a brahmana. The vrtta, or occupation, is the real standard by which one
is known as a brahmana."
We have seen that a person who is not the son of a doctor and has not
attended a medical college is sometimes able to practice medicine. By
practical knowledge of how to perform a surgical operation, how to mix
medicine and how to give certain medicines for certain diseases, a
person can receive a certificate and be registered as a medical
practitioner in the practical field. He can do a medical man's work and
be known as a doctor. Although qualified medical men may consider him a
quack, the government will recognize his work. Especially in India,
there are many such doctors who perform their medical services perfectly.
They are accepted even by the government. Similarly, if one is engaged
in brahminical service or occupational duties, he must be considered a
brahmana despite the family in which he is born. That is the verdict of
all the sastras.
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.11.35), it is said:
yasya yal laksanam proktam pumso varnabhivyanjakam
yad anyatrapi drsyeta tat tenaiva vinirdiset
This is a statement by Narada Muni to Maharaja Yudhisthira, wherein
Narada says that the symptoms of a brahmana, ksatriya and vaisya are all
described in the sastra. Therefore, if one is found exhibiting the
symptoms and qualities of a brahmana, ksatriya or vaisya and serving in
a brahminical, ksatriya or vaisya occupation, even if he is not born a
brahmana, ksatriya or vaisya he should be considered such according to
his qualifications and occupation.
Similarly, in the Padma purana it is said:
na sudra bhagavad-bhaktas te tu bhagavata matah
sarva-varnesu te sudra ye na bhakta janardane
"A devotee should never be considered a sudra. All the devotees of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead should be recognized as bhagavatas. If
one is not a devotee of Lord Krsna, however, even if born in a brahmana,
ksatriya or vaisya family, he should be considered a sudra."
In the Padma Purana it is also said:
sva-pakam iva nekseta loke vipram avaisnavam
vaisnavo varno-bahyo ‘pi punati bhuvana-trayam
"If a person born in a brahmana family is an avaisnava, a nondevotee,
one should not see his face, exactly as one should not look upon the
face of a candala, or dog-eater. However, a Vaisnava found in varnas
other than brahmana can purify all the three worlds."
The Padma Purana further says:
sudram va bhagavad-bhaktam nisadam sva-pacam tatha
viksate jati-samanyat sa yati narakam dhruvam
"One who considers a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who
was born in a family of sudras, nisadas or candalas to belong to that
particular caste certainly goes to hell."
A brahmana must be a Vaisnava and a learned scholar. Therefore in India
it is customary to address a brahmana as pandita. Without knowledge of
Brahman, one cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Therefore a Vaisnava is already a brahmana, whereas a brahmana may
become a Vaisnava. In the Garuda Purana it is said:
bhaktir asta-vidha hy esa yasmin mlecche ‘pi vartate
sa viprendro muni-sresthah sa jnani sa ca panditah
"Even if one is born a mleccha, if he becomes a devotee he is to be
considered the best of the brahmanas and a learned pandita."
Similarly, the Tattva-sagara says:
yatha kancanatam yati kamsyam rasa-vidhanatah
tatha diksa-vidhanena dvijatvam jayate nrnam
"As bell metal is turned to gold when mixed with mercury in an
alchemical process, so one who is properly trained and initiated by a
bona fide spiritual master becomes a brahmana immediately." All this
evidence found in the revealed scriptures proves that according to the
Vedic version, a Vaisnava is never to be considered an abrahmana, or non-
brahmana. A Vaisnava should not be thought to belong to a lower caste
even if born in a mleccha or yavana family. Because he has become a
devotee of Lord Krsna, he has become purified and has attained the stage
of brahmana (dvijatvam jayate nrnam).

TRANSLATION
"My dear lover," Lord Caitanya said in the mood of Srimati Radharani, "
let Me describe some of the characteristics of Your transcendental lips.
They agitate the mind and body of everyone, they increase lusty desires
for enjoyment, they destroy the burden of material happiness and
lamentation, and they make one forget all material tastes. The whole
world falls under their control. They vanquish shame, religion and
patience, especially in women. Indeed, they inspire madness in the minds
of all women. Your lips increase the greed of the tongue and thus
attract it. Considering all this, We see that the activities of Your
transcendental lips are always paradoxical.

passed His days and nights in this way.

TRANSLATION
Expecting the mercy of Svarupa, Rupa, Sanatana and Raghunatha dasa, and
taking their lotus feet on my head, I, the most fallen Krsnadasa,
continue chanting the epic Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, which is sweeter
than the nectar of transcendental bliss.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-
lila, Sixteenth Chapter, describing the nectar flowing from Sri Krsna's
lotus lips.
