38 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 1

PURPORT

When Krsna was performing yajfia (sacrifice) at Kuruksetra, He invited all
the inhabitants of Vrndavana to come see Him. Lord Caitanya’s heart was al-
ways filled with separation from Krsna, but as soon as He had the opportunity
to visit the Jagannatha temple, He became fully absorbed in the thoughts of
the gopis who came to see Krsna at Kuruksetra.
