The Later Pastimes of Lord Caitanya
137
nā —not;  pāiba —I shall get;  habe —there will be;  rasa-bhaṅge —a disturbance in the atmosphere.
TRANSLATION
The Lord thought:  “If I go to Mathurā with such crowds behind Me, it would not be a very happy situation, for the atmosphere would be disturbed.”
PURPORT
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms that visiting a holy place like Vṛndāvana with so many people is simply disturbing. He would not find the happiness He desired by visiting such holy places in that way.
