PLATE SEVEN

“As His feelings of separation in the ecstasy of Srimati Radharani in-
creased at every moment, Lord Caitanya’s activities, both day and night,
were now wild, insane performances. Suddenly there awoke within Sri
Caitanya Mahdprabhu the scene of Lord Krsna’s departure to Mathura,
and He began exhibiting the symptom of ecstatic madness known as
udgharna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu spoke like a madman, holding Rama-
nanda Raya by the neck, and He questioned Svaripa Damodara, thinking
him to be His gopi friend. Just as Srimati Radharant inquired from Her per-
sonal friend Vigakha, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu began speaking like a
madman.” (pp.193-194 )
