### CC Antya 14.25

> দেখিয়া গোবিন্দ আস্তে-ব্যস্তে স্ত্রীকে বর্জিলা ।\
> তারে নামাইতে প্রভু গোবিন্দে নিষেধিলা ॥২৫॥

> dekhiyā govinda āste-vyaste strīke varjilā\
> tāre nāmāite prabhu govinde niṣedhilā

*dekhiyā*—seeing; *govinda*—the personal servant of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *āste-vyaste*—with great haste; *strīke*—the woman; *varjilā*—got down; *tāre*—her; *nāmāite*—to get down; *prabhu*—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *govinde*—Govinda; *niṣedhilā*—forbade.

**When he saw this, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's personal secretary, Govinda, hastily got her down from her position. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, however, chastised him for this.**

Because Garuḍa is the carrier of Lord Viṣṇu, he is the supreme Vaiṣṇava. Therefore to touch his body with one's feet or to climb the column of Garuḍa is certainly a *vaiṣṇava-aparādha,* an offense to a Vaiṣṇava. The woman was also offensive to Kṛṣṇa by putting her foot on the shoulder of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Seeing all these offenses, Govinda very hastily made her get down.
