Text 116] Pastimes of the Lord in His Youth 319
TRANSLATION
The all-knowing astrologer concluded: ‘Whatever You may be or whoever You
may be, | offer my respectful obeisances unto You!”’ By His causeless mercy, the
Lord then gave him love of Godhead, thus rewarding him for his service.
PURPORT
The incident of Lord Caitanya’s meeting the all-knowing astroioger is not
mentioned in the Caitanya-bhdgavata, but we cannot therefore say that it did not
take place. On the contrary, we must accept the statement of Krsnadasa Kaviraja
Gosvami that whatever the Coftanya-bhdgavata did not mention he has especially
mentioned in Co/tanya-caritamrta.
