PLATE TWO
“My dear Lord, I am a very lowborn person. Indeed, I am a servant to lowborn people; therefore I am very, very downtrodden. Nonetheless, You have taught me conclusions unknown even to Lord Brahmā. The conclusions that you have told me are the ocean of the ambrosia of truth. My mind is unable to approach even a drop of that ocean. If You want to make a lame man like me dance, kindly bestow Your transcendental blessings by keeping Your lotus feet on my head. Now, will You please tell me, ‘Let whatever I have instructed all be fully manifest unto you.’ By benedicting me in this way, You will give me strength to describe all this.” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then placed His hand on Sanātana Gosvāmī’s head and benedicted him, saying, “Let all these benedictions be manifest to you.” ( pp. 77-78 )
