Text 96] The Later Pastimes of Lord Caitanya 63
PURPORT
$11 Caitanya Mahaprabhu knew very well that His acceptance of sannydsa
was a thunderbolt for His mother. He therefore called for His mother and the
devotees from Mayapura, and by the arrangement of rt Advaita Acdrya, He
met them for the last time after His acceptance of sannyasa. His mother was
overwhelmed with grief when she saw that He was clean-shaven. There was
no longer any beautiful hair on His head. Mother Saci was pacified by all the
devotees, and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked her to cook for Him because
He was very hungry, not having taken anything for three days. His mother im-
mediately agreed, and, forgetting everything else, she cooked for $ri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu during all the days she was at the house of Sr Advaita Prabhu.
Then, after a few days, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested His mother’s per-
mission to go to Jagannatha Puri. At His mother’s request, He made Jagan-
natha Puri His headquarters after His acceptance of sannydsa. Thus every-
thing was adjusted, and with His mother’s permission $1 Caitanya
Mahaprabhu proceeded toward Jagannatha Puri.
