Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Madhya-līlā, Ch. 2]
almost dreaming;  ki —what;  dekhinu —I have seen;  kibā —what;  āmi —I;  pralāpinu —spoke in craziness;  tomarā —you;  kichu —something;  śuniyācha —have heard;  dainya —humility.
TRANSLATION
In an instant, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu regained external consciousness and saw two persons before Him. Questioning them, He asked, “Am I conscious? What dreams have I been seeing? What craziness have I spoken? Have you heard some expressions of humility?”
PURPORT
When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu thus spoke in ecstasy, He saw two persons before Him. One was His secretary, Śvarūpa Dāmodara, and the other was Rāya Rāmānanda. Coming to His external consciousness, He saw them both present, and although He was still talking in the ecstasy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, He immediately began to question whether He was the same Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
