TRANSLATION

At that time Sri Advaita Acarya Prabhu, in His own house at Santipura, was
dancing in a pleasing mood. Taking Haridasa Thakura with Him, He danced and
loudly chanted Hare Krsna. But why they were dancing, no one could understand.

PURPORT

It is understood that Advaita Prabhu, at that time, was in His own paternal house
at Santipura. Haridasa [hakura frequently used to meet Him. Coincidentally, there-
fore, he was also there, and upon the birth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu both of them
immediately began to dance. But no one in Santipura could understand why those
two saintly persons were dancing.
