kāhāṅ —anywhere;  nāhi —not;  śuni —we hear;  yei —that;  bhāvera —of ecstasy;  vikāra —transformation;  sei —that;  bhāva —ecstasy;  haya —is;  prabhura —of the Lord;  śarīre —in the body;  pracāra —manifest.
TRANSLATION
The extraordinary transformations of the body due to transcendental feelings would never have been possible for anyone but the Lord, in whose body all transformations were manifest.
PURPORT
The ecstatic transformations of the body as described in such exalted literatures as  Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu  are practically not seen in this material world. However, these symptoms were perfectly present in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. These symptoms are indicative of  mahābhāva , or the highest ecstasy. Sometimes  sahajiyās  artificially imitate these symptoms, but experienced devotees reject them immediately. The author admits herein that these symptoms are not to be found anywhere but in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
