One day Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu felt the ecstasy of the boar incarnation and got
up on the shoulders of Murari Gupta. Thus they both danced in Murari Gupta’s
courtyard.
PURPORT
One day Caitanya Mahaprabhu began to cry out, “Sdkara! Sdkara!” Thus crying
out for the boar incarnation of the Lord, He assumed His form as the boar incarna-
tion and got up on the shoulders of Murari Gupta. He carried a small ga@du, a small
waterpot with a nozzle, and thus He symbolically picked up the earth from the
depths of the ocean, for this is the pastime of Lord Varaha.

TRANSLATION
After this incident the Lord ate raw rice given by Suklambara Brahmacari and ex-
plained very elaborately the import of the ‘‘harer nama’’ stoka mentioned in the
Brhan-naradiya Purana:
PURPORT
; Suklambara Brahmacari resided in Navadvipa on the bank of the Ganges. When
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was dancing in ecstasy, he approached the Lord with a
begging bag containing rice. The Lord was so pleased with His devotee that im-
mediately He snatched the bag and began to eat the raw rice. No one forbade Him,
and thus He finished the entire supply of rice.
