### CC Adi 7.56

> প্রভু হাসি’ নিমন্ত্রণ কৈল অঙ্গীকার ।\
> সন্ন্যাসীরে কৃপা লাগি’ এ ভঙ্গী তাঁহার ॥৫৬॥

> prabhu hāsi' nimantraṇa kaila aṅgīkāra\
> sannyāsīre kṛpā lāgi' e bhaṅgī tāṅhāra

*prabhu*—the Lord; *hāsi'*—smiling; *nimantraṇa*—invitation; *kaila*—made; *aṅgīkāra*—acceptance; *sannyāsīre*—unto the Māyāvādī *sannyasīs*; *kṛpā*—to show them mercy; *lāgi'*—for the matter of; *e*—this; *bhaṅgī*—gesture; *tāṅhāra*—His.

**Lord Caitanya smiled and accepted the invitation of the brāhmaṇa. He made this gesture to show His mercy to the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs.**

Tapana Miśra and Candraśekhara appealed to the lotus feet of the Lord regarding their grief at the criticism of Him by the *sannyāsīs* in Benares. Caitanya Mahāprabhu merely smiled, yet He wanted to fulfill the desires of His devotees, and the opportunity came when the *brāhmaṇa* came to request Him to accept his invitation to be present in the midst of the other *sannyāsīs.* This coincidence was made possible by the omnipotency of the Lord.
