PLATE FIVE

“After saying this, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu read
the famous verse of Madhavendra Puri. That verse is
just like the moon. It has spread illumination all over
the world. Madhavendra Puri recited this verse again
and again at the end of his material existence. Thus ut-
tering this verse, he attained the ultimate goal of life.

‘O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of
Mathura! When shall | see You again? Because of My
not seeing You, My agitated heart has become
unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall | do now?’

When Sti Caitanya Mahaprabhu recited this verse,
He immediately fell to the ground unconscious. He was
overwhelmed and had no control over Himself. When
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu fell to the ground in
ecstatic love, Lord Nityananda took Him on His lap.
Crying, Caitanya Mahaprabhu then got up again.”
