Text 52] Ramacandra Puri Criticizes the Lord 107

SYNONYMS

prabhu—Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; paramparaya—by hearsay; ninda—
blasphemy; kairachena sravana—had heard; ebe—now; saksat—directly;
sunilena—He heard; kalpita—imaginary; nindana—blasphemy.

TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had heard rumors about Ramacandra Puri’s
blasphemy. Now He directly heard his fanciful accusations.

PURPORT

Ramacandra Puri could find no faults in the character of Sri Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu, for He is situated in a transcendental position as the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. Ants are generally found everywhere, but when Rama-
candra Puri saw ants crawling in the abode of the Lord, he took for granted that
they must have been there because Caitanya Mahaprabhu had been eating
sweetmeats. He thus discovered imaginary faults in the Lord and then left.
