Thereafter mother Sacidevi saw the brothers Krsna and Balarama in Their mani-
festation of Lord Caitanya and Nityananda. Then the Lord delivered the two
brothers Jagai and Madhai.

PURPORT

One night Sacidevi dreamt that the Deities in her house, Krsna and Balarama, had
taken the forms of Caitanya and Nityananda and were fighting one another, as
children do, to eat the naivedya, or offering to the Deities. On the next day, by the
will of Lord Caitanya, Sacidevi invited Nityananda to take prasdda at her house.
Thus Visvambhara (Lord Caitanya) and Nityananda were eating together, and
Sacidevi realized that They were none other than Kesna and Balarama. Seeing this,
she fainted.

Jagai and Madhai were two brothers born in Navadvipa in a respectable br@hmana
family who later became addicted to all kinds of sinful activities. By the order of
Lord Caitanya, both Nityananda Prabhu and Haridasa Thakura used to preach the
cult of Krsma consciousness door to door, In the course of such preaching they
found Jagai and Madhdai, two maddened drunken brothers, who, upon seeing them,
began to chase them. On the next day, Madhai struck Nityananda Prabhu on the
head with a piece of earthen pot, thus drawing blood. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
heard of this, He immediately came to the spot, ready to punish both brothers, but
when the all-merciful Lord Gaurafga saw Jagai'’s repentant behavior, He immediately
embraced him. By seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face and em-
bracing Him, both the sinful brothers were at once cleansed. Thus they received
initiation into the chanting of the Hare Krsna mahd@-mantra from the Lord and
were delivered.
