PLATE TWO
“Sanātana Gosvāmī was very eager to see the lotus feet of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore Haridāsa Thākura said, ‘The Lord is coming here very soon.’ At that very moment, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, after visiting the temple of Jagannātha to see the offering of  upala-bhoga  [morning refreshments], came with His other devotees to see Haridāsa Thākura. Seeing Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they both immediately fell flat like rods to offer obeisances. The Lord then lifted Haridāsa and embraced him. Haridāsa Thākura said to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, ‘Here is Sanātana Gosvāmī offering his obeisances.’ Seeing Sanātana Gosvāmī, the Lord was greatly surprised. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu came forward to embrace him, Sanātana backed away and spoke as follows. ‘My Lord, please do not touch me. I am the lowest of men, having been born of a low caste. Besides that, I have infections on my body.’ Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, however, embraced Sanātana Gosvāmī by force.” (pp.9-11)
