PLATE SIX
“Mahārāja Pratāparudra was so humble that with folded hands he first took permission from all the devotees. Then, with great courage, he fell down and touched the lotus feet of the Lord. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was lying on the ground with His eyes closed in ecstatic love and emotion, and the King very expertly began to massage His legs. The King began to recite verses about the  rāsa-līlā  from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam . He recited the chapter beginning with the words  ‘jayati te ‘dhikam.’  When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu heard these verses, He was pleased beyond limits, and He said again and again, ‘Go on reciting, go on reciting.’” (pp.226-228)
