Text 316] Lord Caitanya Meets Raghunatha dasa Gosvami 347
such a person act like a debauchee by trying very carefully to maintain his ma-
terial body?”’
PURPORT
This verse (Bhdg. 7.15.40) was spoken by Narada to Yudhisthira Maharaja
regarding a householder’s liberation from material bondage. On the spiritual plat-
form, one does not unnecessarily care for the body. Srila Narottama dasa Thakura
has said, deha-smrti nahi ydra, samsdra bandhana kahan tara. One who is
spiritually situated does not think that he is the body. Therefore he can transcen-
dentally execute severe penances in the renounced order of life. The best ex-
ample of such renunciation is Raghunatha dasa Gosvami.
