Madhya 21-1975: The Opulence and Sweetness of Lord Sri Krsna
Chapter 21
The Opulence and Sweetness of Lord Sri Krsna
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the following summary study of the
Twenty-first Chapter. In this chapter Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu fully
describes Krsnaloka, the spiritual sky, the Causal Ocean and the
material world, which consists of innumerable universes. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu then describes Lord Brahma's interview with Krsna at Dvaraka
and the Lord's curbing the pride of Brahma. There is also a description
of one of Krsna's pastimes with Brahma. In this chapter the author of
Caitanya-caritamrta has presented some nice poems about the pastimes
of Krsna and Krsna's superexcellent beauty. Throughout the rest of the
chapter, our intimate relationship (sambandha) with Krsna is described.

higher planetary systems, including Lord Brahma, could not find Your
limitations. Nor could You Yourself ascertain the limit of Your
qualities. Like atoms in the sky, there are multi-universes with seven
coverings, and these are rotating in due course of time. All the experts
in Vedic understanding are searching for You by eliminating the material
elements. In this way, searching and searching, they come to the
conclusion that everything is complete in You. Thus You are the resort
of everything. This is the conclusion of all Vedic experts.'
PURPORT
This verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.87.41)
is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita
:
bahunam janmanam ante
jnanavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti
sa mahatma sudurlabhah
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge
surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all
that is. Such a great soul is very rare." (Bg. 7.19)
After searching for the Absolute Truth throughout the universe, learned
scholars and Vedic experts cannot reach the ultimate goal. In this way
they come to Krsna.
When there is a discussion about the Absolute Truth, there are always
various pros and cons. The purpose of such arguments is to come to the
right conclusion. Such an argument is generally known as neti neti ("not
this, not that"). Until one comes to the right conclusion, the process
of thinking, "This is not the Absolute Truth, that is not the Absolute
Truth," will continue. When we come to the right conclusion, we accept
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, as the ultimate truth.

"Apart from all argument, logic and negative or positive processes, when

e-mata anyatra nahi suniye adbhuta

SYNONYMS
e-mata -- like this; anyatra -- anywhere else; nahi -- not; suniye -- I
hear; adbhuta -- wonderful event; yahara -- of which; sravane -- by
hearing; citta -- consciousness; haya -- becomes; avadhuta -- agitated
and cleansed.
TRANSLATION
"We do not hear of such wonderful things anywhere. Simply by
hearing of those incidents, one's consciousness is agitated and cleansed.
PURPORT
When Lord Krsna was present in the earthly Vrndavana, Lord Brahma,
taking Him to be an ordinary cowherd boy, wanted to test His potency.
Therefore Lord Brahma stole all the cows, calves and cowherd boys from
Krsna and hid them by his illusory energy. When Krsna saw that Brahma
had stolen His cows, calves and cowherd boys, He immediately created
many material and spiritual planets in Lord Brahma's presence. Within a
moment, cows, cowherd boys, calves and unlimited Vaikunthas -- all
expansions of the Lord's spiritual energy -- were manifested. As stated
in the Brahma-samhita: ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhih.
Not only did Krsna create all the paraphernalia of His spiritual energy,
but He also created unlimited material universes with unlimited Brahmas.
All these pastimes, which are described in Srimad-Bhagavatam, will
cleanse one's consciousness. In this way one can actually understand the
Absolute Truth. The spiritual planets in the spiritual sky are called
Vaikunthas, and each of them has a predominating Deity (Narayana) with a
specific name. Similarly, in the material sky there are innumerable
universes, and each is dominated by a specific deity, a Brahma. Krsna
simultaneously created all these Vaikuntha planets and universes within
a moment of Brahma's return.
The word avadhuta means "rambling, agitating, moving, absorbed, defeated.
" In some readings of Caitanya-caritamrta, it is said: yahara
sravane citta-mala haya dhuta. Instead of the word avadhuta, the words
haya dhuta, meaning that the heart or consciousness is cleansed, is
used. When the consciousness is cleansed, one can understand what and
who Krsna is. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (7.28)
:
yesam tv anta-gatam papam
jananam punya-karmanam
te dvandva-moha-nirmukta
bhajante mam drdha-vratah
"Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life,
whose sinful actions are completely eradicated and who are freed from
the duality of delusion, engage themselves in My service with
determination."
Unless one is freed from the reaction of sinful activities, one cannot
understand Krsna or engage in His transcendental loving service.

whatever; vatsa -- calves; carana -- grazing; koti -- ten millions;

trillion; tahara ganana -- the enumeration of that.
TRANSLATION
"Each of the cowherd boys was tending calves to the extent of a koti,
arbuda, sankha and padma. That is the way of counting.
PURPORT
According to Vedic mathematical calculations, the following enumeration
system is used: units, tens (dasa), hundreds (sata), thousands (sahasra),
ten thousands (ayuta) and hundred thousands (laksa). Ten times laksa is
niyuta. Ten times niyuta is koti. Ten times koti is arbuda. Ten times
arbuda is vrnda. Ten times vrnda is kharva. Ten times kharva is nikharva.
Ten times nikharva is sankha. Ten times sankha is padma, and ten times
padma is sagara. Ten times sagara is antya, and ten times antya is
madhya, and ten times madhya is parardha. Each item is ten times greater
than the previous one. Thus all the cowherd boys who were companions of
Krsna had many calves to take care of.

"The abode of the external energy is called Devi-dhama, and its

Because he wants to enjoy the material energy, the conditioned soul is
allowed to reside in Devi-dhama, the external energy, where the goddess
Durga carries out the orders of the Supreme Lord as His maidservant. The
material energy is called jagal-laksmi because she protects the
bewildered conditioned souls. The goddess Durga is therefore known
as the mother, and Lord Siva, her husband, is known as the
father. Lord Siva and goddess Durga are therefore known as the material
father and mother. Goddess Durga is so named because this material world
is like a big fort where the conditioned soul is placed under her care.
For material facilities, the conditioned soul tries to please the
goddess Durga, and mother Durga supplies all kinds of material
facilities. Because of this, the conditioned souls are allured and do
not wish to leave the external energy. Consequently they are
continuously making plans to live here peacefully and happily. Such is

the opulence of Hari-dhama, he is placed in Mahesa-dhama, which is
between the other two dhamas. The liberated soul does not get an
opportunity to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead there; therefore

brahma -- Lord Brahmas; rudra-gana -- and Lord Sivas; cira-loka-pala --

TRANSLATION
"Actually it is very difficult to ascertain the number of universes.
Every universe has its separate Lord Brahma and Lord Siva, who are known
as permanent governors. Therefore there is also no counting of them.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma and Lord Siva are called cira-loka-pala, permanent governors.
This means that they govern the affairs of the universe from the
beginning of the creation to the end. In the next creation, the same
living entities may not be present, but because Brahma and Siva are
existing from the beginning to the end, they are called cira-loka-pala,
permanent governors. Loka-pala means "predominating deities." There are
eight predominating deities of the prominent heavenly planets, and they
are Indra, Agni, Yama, Varuna, Nirrti, Vayu, Kuvera and Siva.

Brahma? What is his name?' The doorman therefore returned and questioned
Lord Brahma.

From this verse we can understand that Brahma is the name of the post
and that the person occupying the post has a particular name also. From
Bhagavad-gita: imam vivasvate yogam. Vivasvan is the name
of the present predominating deity of the sun. He is generally called
Surya, the sun-god, but he also has his own particular name. The
governor of the state is generally called raja-pala, but he also has his
own individual name. Since there are hundreds and thousands of Brahmas
with different names, Krsna wanted to know which of them had come to see
Him.

tactfully had sexual intercourse with the wife of a great sage, and when
the sage learned about this, he cursed the lusty Indra with a curse that
put vaginas all over his body. Being very ashamed, Indra fell down
at the lotus feet of the great sage and begged his pardon. Being

Brahma and Lord Siva have many faces, the King of heaven, Indra, has

purpose of all sacrificies and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all
planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living
entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries." (Bg. 5.29)
The word sarva-loka means "all three worlds," and the word mahesvara
means "the supreme proprietor." Krsna is the proprietor of both
material and spiritual worlds. The spiritual world is divided into
two portions -- Goloka Vrndavana and the Vaikunthas. The material world

TRANSLATION
"The wonder of Krsna in His personal feature is so great that it
attracts even Krsna to taste His own association. Thus Krsna becomes
very eager to taste that wonder. Total beauty, knowledge, wealth,
strength, fame and renunciation are the six opulences of Krsna. He is
eternally situated in His opulences.
PURPORT
Krsna has many pastimes, of which His pastimes in Goloka Vrndavana (the
gokula-lila) are supreme. He also has pastimes in the Vaikunthas, the
spiritual world, as Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. In
His pastimes in the spiritual sky, He lies down in the Causal Ocean as
Karanarnavasayi, the purusa-avatara. His incarnations as a fish,
tortoise and so on are called His causal incarnations. He incarnates in
the modes of nature as Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and Lord Visnu. He also
incarnates as empowered living entities like Prthu and Vyasa. The
Supersoul is His localized incarnation, and His all-pervasive aspect is
the impersonal Brahman.
When we consider impartially all the unlimited pastimes of the Lord, we
find that His pastimes as a human being on this planet -- wherein He
sports as a cowherd boy with a flute in His hands and appears youthful
and fresh like a ballet dancer -- are pastimes and features that are
never subjected to material laws and inebrieties. The wonderful beauty
of Krsna is presented in the supreme planet, Gokula (Goloka Vrndavana).
Inferior to that is His representation in the spiritual sky, and
inferior to that is His representation in the external energy (Devi-
dhama). A mere drop of Krsna's sweetness can drown these three worlds --
Goloka Vrndavana, Hari-dhama (Vaikunthaloka), and Devi-dhama (the
material world). Everywhere, Krsna's beauty merges everyone in the
ecstasy of transcendental bliss. Actually the activities of yogamaya are
absent in the spiritual sky and the Vaikuntha planets. She simply works
in the supreme planet, Goloka Vrndavana, and she works to manifest the
activities of Krsna when He descends to the material universe to please
His innumerable devotees within the material world. Thus a replica of
the Goloka Vrndavana planet and the pastimes there are manifest on
this planet on a specific tract of land -- Bhauma Vrndavana, the
Vrndavana-dhama on this planet.

beautifies that form. Above all these beautiful features, Krsna's eyes
dance and move obliquely, acting like arrows to pierce the minds of
Srimati Radharani and the gopis. When the arrow succeeds in hitting its
target, their minds become agitated.

activities for the whole world. All these qualities are not visible in
expansions like Narayana.
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura mentions that the qualities of beauty,
humility, mercy, merit, patience and expert intelligence are brilliant
qualities, and when they are exhibited in the person of Narayana, one
should know that they are bestowed upon Narayana by Krsna. Good behavior,
mildness and magnanimity are found only in Krsna. Only Krsna performs
welfare activities for the whole world.

When there is a combination of kapha, pitta and vayu, the three bodily
elements, there occurs sannipati, or a convulsive disease.
"This disease is caused by the personal features of Lord

His face, and the beauty of His smile. Stricken by these three beauties,
My mind goes into convulsions. It wishes to drink the ocean of Krsna's
beauty, but because I am undergoing convulsions, My physician, who is
Sri Krsna Himself, does not even allow Me to take a drop of water from
that ocean." Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was ecstatic in this way because He
was presenting Himself in the mood of the gopis. The gopis wanted to
drink the ocean of sweetness arising from the bodily features of Krsna,
but Krsna did not allow them to come near. Consequently their desire to
meet Krsna increased, and being unable to drink the ambrosia of Krsna's
bodily features, they became very unhappy.

Krsna's flute forgets to talk or hear of any other subject. This
vibration of Krsna's flute is represented by the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.

which He should not have done for the understanding of those who are
externally situated. Statements about Krsna's body, His characteristics
and His flute would appear like a madman's statements to a mundane

Sanatana Gosvami due to His specific mercy upon him. Somehow or other,
Krsna explained Himself and His flute to Sanatana Gosvami through the
mouth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who appeared as though mad. Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu admitted that He wanted to tell Sanatana Gosvami
something else, but somehow or other, in a transcendental ecstasy, He
spoke of a different subject matter.

Madhya 21: The Opulence and Sweetness of Lord Sri Krsna
Chapter 21:
The Opulence and Sweetness of Lord Sri Krsna
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the following summary of the
Twenty-first Chapter. In this chapter Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu fully
describes Krsnaloka, the spiritual sky, the Causal Ocean and the
material world, which consists of innumerable universes. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu then describes Lord Brahma's interview with Krsna at Dvaraka
and the Lord's curbing the pride of Brahma. There is also a description
of one of Krsna's pastimes with Brahma. In this chapter the author of
the Caitanya-caritamrta has presented some nice poems about the pastimes
of Krsna and Krsna's superexcellent beauty. Throughout the rest of the
chapter, our intimate relationship (sambandha) with Krsna is described.

TRANSLATION
"My Lord, You are unlimited. Even the predominating deities of the
higher planetary systems, including Lord Brahma, cannot find Your
limitations. Nor can You Yourself ascertain the limit of Your
qualities. Like atoms in the sky, there are multi-universes with seven
coverings, and these are rotating in due course of time. All the experts
in Vedic understanding are searching for You by eliminating the material
elements. In this way, searching and searching, they come to the
conclusion that everything is complete in You. Thus You are the resort
of everything. This is the conclusion of all Vedic experts.'
PURPORT
This verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.87.41), which was spoken by the
personified Vedas, is confirmed by Lord Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita (7.19)
:
bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan mam prapadyate
vasudevah sarvam iti sa mahatma su-durlabhah
"After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge
surrenders unto Me, knowing Me to be the cause of all causes and all
that is. Such a great soul is very rare." Even after searching for the
Absolute Truth throughout the universe, learned scholars and Vedic
experts cannot reach the ultimate goal. In this way they come to Krsna.
When there is a discussion about the Absolute Truth, there are always
various pros and cons. The purpose of such arguments is to come to the
right conclusion. Such an argument is generally known as neti neti ("not
this, not that"). Until one comes to the right conclusion, the process
of thinking "This is not the Absolute Truth, that is not the Absolute
Truth" will continue. When we come to the right conclusion, we accept
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, as the ultimate truth.

e-mata anyatra nahi suniye adbhuta

SYNONYMS
e-mata -- like this; anyatra -- anywhere else; nahi -- not; suniye -- I
hear; adbhuta -- wonderful event; yahara -- of which; sravane -- by
hearing; citta -- consciousness; haya -- becomes; avadhuta -- agitated

TRANSLATION
"We do not hear of such wonderful things anywhere else. Simply by one's
hearing of those incidents, one's consciousness is agitated and cleansed.
PURPORT
When Lord Krsna was present in the earthly Vrndavana, Lord Brahma,
taking Him to be an ordinary cowherd boy, wanted to test His potency.
Therefore Lord Brahma stole all the calves and cowherd boys from
Krsna and hid them by his illusory energy. When Krsna saw that Brahma
had stolen His calves and cowherd boys, He immediately created
many material and spiritual planets in Lord Brahma's presence. Within a
moment, cowherd boys, calves and unlimited Vaikunthas -- all
expansions of the Lord's spiritual energy -- were manifested. As stated
in the Brahma-samhita, ananda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhavitabhih [Bs. 5.37].
Not only did Krsna create all the paraphernalia of His spiritual energy,
but He also created unlimited material universes with unlimited Brahmas.
All these pastimes, which are described in Srimad-Bhagavatam, will
cleanse one's consciousness. In this way one can actually understand the
Absolute Truth. The spiritual planets in the spiritual sky are called
Vaikunthas, and each of them has a predominating Deity (Narayana) with a
specific name. Similarly, in the material sky there are innumerable
universes, and each is dominated by a specific deity, a Brahma. Krsna
simultaneously created all these Vaikuntha planets and universes within
a moment after Brahma's return.
The word avadhuta means "rambling, agitating, moving, absorbed, defeated.
" In some readings of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, it is said: yahara
sravane citta-mala haya dhuta. Instead of the word avadhuta, the words
haya dhuta, meaning that the heart or consciousness is cleansed, are
used. When the consciousness is cleansed, one can understand what and
who Krsna is. This is confirmed by Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita (7.28)
:
yesam tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam
te dvandva-moha-nirmukta bhajante mam drdha-vratah
"Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this
life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from
the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with
determination." Unless one is freed from the reactions of sinful
activities, one cannot understand Krsna or engage in His transcendental
loving service.

TRANSLATION
"Each of the cowherd boys was tending calves to the extent of a koti,

PURPORT
According to Vedic mathematical calculations, the following enumeration
system is used: units, tens (dasa), hundreds (sata), thousands (sahasra),
ten thousands (ayuta) and hundred thousands (laksa). Ten times laksa is
niyuta. Ten times niyuta is koti. Ten times koti is arbuda. Ten times
arbuda is vrnda. Ten times vrnda is kharva. Ten times kharva is nikharva.
Ten times nikharva is sankha. Ten times sankha is padma, and ten times
padma is sagara. Ten times sagara is antya, and ten times antya is
madhya, and ten times madhya is parardha. Each item is ten times greater
than the previous one. Thus all the cowherd boys, who were companions of
Krsna, had many calves to take care of.

Because he wants to enjoy the material energy, the conditioned soul is
allowed to reside in Devi-dhama, the external energy, where goddess
Durga carries out the orders of the Supreme Lord as His maidservant. The
material energy is called jagal-laksmi because she protects the
bewildered conditioned souls. Goddess Durga is therefore known
as the material mother, and Lord Siva, her husband, is known as the
material
father. Goddess Durga is so named because this material world
is like a big fort where the conditioned soul is placed under her care.
For material facilities, the conditioned soul tries to please
goddess Durga, and mother Durga supplies all kinds of material
facilities. Because of this, the conditioned souls are allured and do
not wish to leave the external energy. Consequently they are
continuously making plans to live here peacefully and happily. Such is

TRANSLATION
"Krsna is the supreme proprietor of all dhamas, including Goloka-dhama,
Vaikuntha-dhama and Devi-dhama. The paravyoma and Goloka-dhama are
beyond Devi-dhama, this material world.
PURPORT
When a living entity is liberated from Devi-dhama but does not know of
the opulence of Hari-dhama, he is placed in Mahesa-dhama, which is
between the other two dhamas. The liberated soul does not get an
opportunity to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead there; therefore
although this Mahesa-dhama is Lord Siva's dhama and above Devi-dhama,
it is not the spiritual world. The spiritual world begins with Hari-
dhama, or Vaikunthaloka.

Hari-dhama (paravyoma) and Goloka Vrndavana are beyond the material
cosmic manifestation. They are celebrated as three fourths of the Lord's
energy. The material world, conducted by the Supreme Lord's external
energy, is called Devi-dhama and is a manifestation of one fourth of His
energy.

TRANSLATION
"Actually it is very difficult to ascertain the number of universes.
Every universe has its separate Lord Brahma and Lord Siva, who are known
as permanent governors. Therefore there is also no counting them.
PURPORT
Lord Brahma and Lord Siva are called cira-loka-pala, permanent governors.
This means that they govern the affairs of the universe from the
beginning of the creation to the end. In the next creation, the same
living entities may not be present, but because Brahma and Siva are
existing from the beginning to the end, they are called cira-loka-pala,
permanent governors. Loka-pala means "predominating deities." There are
eight predominating deities of the prominent heavenly planets, and they
are Indra, Agni, Yama, Varuna, Nirrti, Vayu, Kuvera and Siva.

TRANSLATION
"When Krsna was so informed, He immediately asked the doorman, Which
Brahma? What is his name?' The doorman therefore returned and questioned
Lord Brahma.
PURPORT
From this verse we can understand that Brahma is the name of the post
and that the person occupying the post has a particular name also. From
the Bhagavad-gita: imam vivasvate yogam [Bg. 4.1]. Vivasvan is the name
of the present predominating deity of the sun. He is generally called
Surya, the sun-god, but he also has his own particular name. The
governor of the state is generally called raja-pala, but he also has his
own individual name. Since there are hundreds and thousands of Brahmas
with different names, Krsna wanted to know which of them had come to see
Him.

had sexual intercourse with the wife of a great sage, and when
the sage learned about this, he cursed lusty Indra with a curse that
put vaginas all over his body. Being very much ashamed, Indra fell down
at the lotus feet of the great sage and begged his pardon. Being
compassionate, the sage turned the vaginas into eyes; therefore Indra
possesses hundreds and thousands of eyes all over his body. Just as Lord
Brahma and Lord Siva have many faces, the King of heaven, Indra, has

TRANSLATION
"There is a very deep meaning in the word try-adhisvara,'
which indicates that Krsna possesses three different lokas, or natures.
PURPORT
The word try-adhisvara means "proprietor of the three worlds."
There are three worlds, and Krsna is the supreme proprietor of them
all. This is explained by Lord Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita (5.29):
bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram
suhrdam sarva-bhutanam jnatva mam santim rcchati
"A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate
beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all
planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living
entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries."
The word sarva-loka means "all three worlds," and the word mahesvara
means "the supreme proprietor." Krsna is the proprietor of both the
material and the spiritual world. The spiritual world is divided into
two portions -- Goloka Vrndavana and the Vaikunthas. The material world
is a combination of universes unlimited in number.

TRANSLATION
"The wonderful form of Krsna in His personal feature is so great that it
attracts even Krsna to taste His own association. Indeed, Krsna becomes
very eager to taste it. Total beauty, knowledge, wealth,
strength, fame and renunciation are the six opulences of Krsna. He is
eternally situated in His opulences.
PURPORT
Krsna has many pastimes, of which His pastimes in Goloka Vrndavana (the
gokula-lila) are supreme. He also has pastimes in the Vaikunthas, the
spiritual world, as Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. In
His pastimes in the spiritual sky, He lies down in the Causal Ocean as
Karanarnavasayi, the purusa-avatara. His incarnations as a fish,
tortoise and so on are called His causal incarnations. He incarnates in
the modes of nature as Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and Lord Visnu. He also
incarnates as empowered living entities like Prthu and Vyasa. The
Supersoul is His localized incarnation, and His all-pervasive aspect is
the impersonal Brahman.
When we consider impartially all the unlimited pastimes of the Lord, we
find that His pastimes as a human being on this planet -- wherein He
sports as a cowherd boy with a flute in His hands and appears youthful
and fresh like a ballet dancer -- are pastimes and features that are
never subjected to material laws and inebrieties. The wonderful beauty
of Krsna is presented in the supreme planet, Gokula (Goloka Vrndavana).
Inferior to that is His representation in the spiritual sky, and
inferior to that is His representation in the external energy (Devi-
dhama). A mere drop of Krsna's sweetness can drown these three worlds --
Goloka Vrndavana, Hari-dhama (Vaikunthaloka) and Devi-dhama (the
material world). Everywhere, Krsna's beauty merges everyone in the
ecstasy of transcendental bliss. Actually the activities of yogamaya are
absent in the spiritual sky and the Vaikuntha planets. She simply works
in the supreme planet, Goloka Vrndavana, and she works to manifest the
activities of Krsna when He descends to the material universe to please
His innumerable devotees within the material world. Thus a replica of
the Goloka Vrndavana planet and the pastimes there is manifested on
this planet on a specific tract of land -- Bhauma Vrndavana, the
Vrndavana-dhama on this planet.

PURPORT
When there is a combination of kapha, pitta and vayu, the three bodily
elements, there occurs sannipati, or a convulsive disease. Lord Caitanya
said, "This disease of Mine is caused by the personal features of Lord
Krsna. The three elements are the beauty of Krsna's body, the beauty of
His face, and the beauty of His smile. Stricken by these three beauties,
My mind goes into convulsions. It wishes to drink the ocean of Krsna's
beauty, but because I am undergoing convulsions, My physician, who is
Sri Krsna Himself, does not even allow Me to take a drop of water from
that ocean." Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was ecstatic in this way because He
was presenting Himself in the mood of the gopis. The gopis wanted to
drink the ocean of sweetness arising from the bodily features of Krsna,
but Krsna did not allow them to come near. Consequently their desire to
meet Krsna increased, and being unable to drink the ambrosia of Krsna's
bodily features, they became very unhappy.

TRANSLATION
"The vibration of His flute is just like a bird that creates a nest
within the ears of the gopis and always remains prominent there, not
allowing any other sound to enter their ears. Indeed, the gopis cannot
hear anything else, nor are they able to concentrate on anything else,
not even to give a suitable reply. Such are the effects of the vibration
of Lord Krsna's flute."
PURPORT
The vibration of Krsna's flute is always prominent in the ears of the
gopis. Naturally they cannot hear anything else. Constant remembrance of
the holy sound of Krsna's flute keeps them enlightened and enlivened,
and they do not allow any other sound to enter their ears. Since their
attention is fixed on Krsna's flute, they cannot divert their minds to
any other subject. In other words, a devotee who has heard the sound of
Krsna's flute forgets to talk or hear of any other subject. This
vibration of Krsna's flute is represented by the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.
A serious devotee of the Lord who chants and hears this transcendental
vibration becomes so accustomed to it that he cannot divert his
attention to any subject matter not related to Krsna's blissful
characteristics and paraphernalia.

punah kahe bahya-jnane, ana kahite kahilun ane,
krsna-krpa tomara upare
mora citta-bhrama kari', nijaisvarya-madhuri,
mora mukhe sunaya tomare
SYNONYMS
punah -- again; kahe -- He says; bahya-jnane -- in external
consciousness; ana -- something else; kahite -- to speak; kahilun -- I
have spoken; ane -- another thing; krsna-krpa -- the mercy of Lord Krsna;
tomara -- you; upare -- upon; mora -- My; citta-bhrama -- mental
concoction; kari' -- making; nija-aisvarya -- His personal opulence;
madhuri -- sweetness; mora mukhe -- through My mouth; sunaya -- causes
to hear; tomare -- you.
TRANSLATION
Resuming His external consciousness, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told
Sanatana Gosvami, "I have not spoken of what I intended. Lord Krsna is
very merciful to you because by bewildering My mind He has revealed His
personal opulence and sweetness. He has caused you to hear all these
things from Me for your understanding.
PURPORT
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu admitted that He was speaking like a madman,
which He should not have done for the understanding of those who are
externally situated. Statements about Krsna's body, His characteristics
and His flute would appear like a madman's statements to a mundane
person. It was actually a fact that Krsna wanted to reveal Himself to
Sanatana Gosvami due to His specific mercy upon him. Somehow or other,
Krsna explained Himself and His flute to Sanatana Gosvami through the
mouth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who appeared as though mad. Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu admitted that He wanted to tell Sanatana Gosvami
something else, but somehow or other, in transcendental ecstasy, He
spoke of a different subject matter.
