TRANSLATION

Any faithful person who hears of this brahmana’s cursing Lord Caitanya is delivered
from all brahminical curses.

PURPORT

One should know with firm conviction that the Lord, being transcendental, is
never subject to any curse or benediction. Only ordinary living entities are subjected
to curses and the punishments of Yamaraja. As the Supreme Personality of God-
head, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is beyond such punishments and benedictions. When
one understands this fact with faith and love, he personally becomes free from alli
curses uttered by bradhmanas or anyone else. This incident is not mentioned in the
Caitanya-bhdgavata.
