80 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 1
kirtana-4vese—in the ecstasy of kirtana; prabhura—of Lord Caitanya
Mahdprabhu; mana—the mind; sthira—pacified; haila—became.
TRANSLATION
After due consideration, all the devotees began chanting the holy name
congregationally. Lord Caitanya’s mind was thus pacified by the ecstasy of
the chanting.
PURPORT
Being absolute, Lord Jagannatha is identical in person, form, picture, kirtana
and all other circumstances. Therefore when Caitanya Mahdprabhu heard the
chanting of the holy name of the Lord, He was pacified. Previously, He had
been feeling very morose due to separation from Jagannatha. The conclusion
is that whenever a kirtana of pure devotees takes place, the Lord is im-
mediately present. By chanting the holy names of the Lord, we associate with
the Lord personally.
