PURPORT
it is mentioned in Sr7mad-Bhdgavatam that when Uddhava came from Lord Krsna
with a message for the gopis, all the gopis, especially Srimati Radharani, denounced
Krsna in various ways. Such denunciations, however, reflect an exuberant loving
attitude that an ordinary man cannot understand. When the foolish student ques-
tioned Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Caitanya similarly rebuked Lord Krsna
in loving exuberance. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was in the mood of the gopis
and the student advocated the cause of Sri Krsma, Lord Caitanya was greatly angry.
Seeing His anger, the foolish student, who was an ordinary atheisticsmarta-brdhmara,
foolishly misjudged Him. Thus he and a party of students were ready to strike the
Lord in retaliation. After this incident, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu decided to take
sannydsa so that people would not commit offenses against Him, considering Him an
ordinary householder, for in India even now a sannyds7 is naturally offered respect.
