TRANSLATION

While relating in synopsis form the last division of the pastimes of Lord
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, in this chapter | shall describe the Lord’s transcen-
dental ecstasy, which appears like madness due to His separation from
Krsna.

PURPORT

In this Second Chapter, the activities of Lord Caitanya that took place after
the Lord accepted sannyéasa are generally described. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
is specifically mentioned here as being gaura, or of fair complexion. Krsna is
generally known to be blackish, but when He is absorbed in the thought of
the gopis, who are all of fair complexion, Krsna Himself also becomes fair. Sti
Caitanya Mahaprabhu in particular felt separation from Krsna very deeply, ex-
actly like a lover who is dejected in separation from the beloved. Such feel-
ings, which were expressed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for nearly twelve
years at the end of His pastimes, are described in brief in this Second Chapter
of Madhya-lila.
