Texts 55-56] Pastimes of the Lord in His Youth 287

Atheists are punishable, whereas devotees are to be protected. To maintain this
principle is the mission of all avetdras, or incarnations. One must therefore identify
an incarnation by His activities, not by popular votes or mental concoctions. Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave protection to devotees and killed many demons in the
course of His preaching work. He specifically mentioned that the Mayavadi
philosophers are the greatest demons. Therefore He warned alf others not to hear
the Mayavada philosophy. Mayavadi-bhasyo Sunife haya sarva-nasa: simply by hear-
ing the Mayavada interpretation of the Sdstras, one is doomed (Cc. Madhya 6.169).

TRANSLATION

After saying this, the Lord left to take His bath in the Ganges, and that sinful
man did not give up his fife but continued to suffer.

PURPORT

{t appears that an offender to a Vaisnava continues to suffer and does not give
up his life. We have actually seen that a great vaisnava-aparddhi is continuously
suffering so much that it is difficult for him to move, and yet he does not die.
