SYNONYMS
kahan—anywhere; nahi—not; suni—we hear; yei—that; bhavera—of
ecstasy; vikara—transformation; sei—that; bhava—ecstasy; haya—is;
prabhura—of the Lord; Sarire—in the body; pracdra—manifest.
TRANSLATION
The extraordinary transformations of the body due to transcendental
feelings would never have been possible for anyone but the Lord, in
whose body all transformations were manifest.
PURPORT
The ecstatic transformations of the body as described in such exalted
literatures as Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu are practically not seen in this material
world. However, these symptoms were perfectly present in the body of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. These symptoms are indicative of mahabhava, or the
highest ecstasy. Sometimes sahajiyds artificially imitate these symptoms, but
experienced devotees reject them immediately. The author admits herein
that these symptoms are not to be found anywhere but in the body of $r7
Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
