PLATE SEVEN
“Accompanied by His personal associates, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu washed and swept the Guṇḍicā temple, cleansing it as usual. The Lord danced and chanted and then enjoyed a picnic in the garden as He had done before. As previously, He danced in front of the Jagannātha car and observed the festival of Herā-pañcamī.” ( pp. 247-248 )
The details of the Herā-pañcamī festival (as given in  Madhya-līlā , Chapter 14, verses 106-135) are as follows: “The Herā-pañcamī festival takes place five days after the Ratha-yātrā festival. Lord Jagannātha has left His wife, the goddess of fortune, and gone to Vṛndāvana, which is the Guṇḍicā temple. Due to separation from the Lord, the goddess of fortune arrives at the main gate of the temple accompanied by many members of her family, all of whom exhibit uncommon opulence. When the procession arrives, the maidservants of the goddess of fortune begin to arrest all the principal servants of Lord Jagannātha. The maidservants bind the servants of Jagannātha, handcuff them, and make them fall down at the lotus feet of the goddess of fortune. When the servants fall down before the lotus feet of the goddess of fortune, they almost fall unconscious. They are chastised and made the butt of jokes and loose language.”
