TRANSLATION
“Please come here. Please come here, Your Holiness. Why do You sit in that
unclean place? What has caused Your lamentation?”
PURPORT
Here is the distinction between Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Prakasananda
Sarasvati. In the material world everyone wants to introduce himself as very im-
portant and great, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu introduced Himself very humbly and
meekly. The Mayavadis were sitting in an exalted position, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu
sat in a place which was not even clean. Therefore the Mayavadi sannyasis thought
that He must have been aggrieved for some reason, and Prakasananda Sarasvati
inquired about the cause for His lamentation.
