mahda-krpa-patra prabhura jagai, madhai
‘patita-pavana’ nadmera saksi dui bhai

SYNONYMS

mahda-krpa-patra—object of very great mercy; prabhura—of the Lord; jagdi
madhdi—the two brothers Jagai and Madhai; patita-pdvana—deliverer of the fallen;
namera—of this name; saks7—witness; dui bhai—these two brothers.

TRANSLATION

Jagai and Madhai, the eighty-ninth and nintieth branches of the tree, were the
greatest recipients of Lord Caitanya’s mercy. These two brothers were the witnesses
who proved that Lord Caitanya was rightly named Patita-pavana, “‘the deliverer
of the fallen souls.”

PURPORT

In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipikd (115) it is said that the two brothers Jagai and
Madhai were formerly the doorkeepers named Jaya and Vijaya, who later became
Hiranyaksa and Hiranyakasipu. Jagai and Madhai were born in respectable brahmana
families, but they adopted the professions of thieves and rogues and thus became
implicated in all kinds of undesirable activities, especially woman hunting, intoxica-
tion and gambling. Later, by the grace of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri
Nityananda Prabhu, they were initiated, and they got the chance to chant the Hare
Krsna mahd-mantra. As a result of chanting, both brothers later became exalted
devotees of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The descendants of Madhai still exist, and
they are respectable brahmanas. The tombs of these two brothers, Jagai and Madhai,
are in a place known as Ghosahata, or Madhaitala-grama, which is situated about
one mile south of Katwa. It is said that Sri Gopicarana dasa Babaji established a
temple of Nitai-Gaura at this place about 200 years ago.
