On the next morning the poet came to Lord Caitanya and surrendered unto His
lotus feet. The Lord bestowed His mercy upon him and cut off all his bondage to
material attachment.
PURPORT
The same process advocated by Lord Sri Krsna in His teachings of Bhagavad-gitd
as it is—‘“‘Surrender unto Me in all instances’’—was advocated by Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. The champion surrendered unto the Lord, and the Lord favored him.
One who is favored by the Lord is freed from material bondage, as stated in
Bhagavad-gité (tyaktvé deham punar janma naiti mam etl so ‘rjuna).
