TRANSLATION
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu blessed Mukunda Datta with punishment and in
that way vanquished all his mental depression.
PURPORT
Mukunda Datta was once forbidden to enter the association of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu because of his mixing with the Mayavadi impersonalists. When Lord
Caitanya manifested His mahd-prakdsa, He called all the devotees one after another
and blessed them, while Mukunda Datta stood outside the door. The devotees in-
formed the Lord that Mukunda Datta was waiting outside, but the Lord replied,
“| shall not soon be pleased with Mukunda Datta, for he explains devotional service
among devotees, but then he goes to Mayavadis to hear from them the Yoga-
vasistha-ramayana, which is full of Mayavada philosophy. For this ] am greatly
dispteased with him.’’ Hearing the Lord speak in that way, Mukunda Datta, standing
outside, was exceedingly glad that the Lord would at some time be pleased with
him, aithough He was not pleased at that moment. But when the Lord understood
that Mukunda Datta was going to give up the association of the Mayavadis for good,
He was pleased, and He at once called to see Mukunda. Thus He delivered him
from the association of the Mayavadis and gave him the association of pure devotees.
