304 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 6
PURPORT
The word brahmana-mértina in this verse refers to the founder of Mayavada
philosophy, Sankaracarya, who was born in the Malabara district of southern
India. Mayavada philosophy states that the Supreme Lord, the living entities and
the cosmic manifestation are all transformations of illusory energy. To support this
atheistic theory, the Mayavadis cite false scriptures, which make people bereft of
transcendental knowledge and addicted to fruitive activities and mental specula-
tion.
This verse is a quotation from the Padma Purana, Uttara-khanda (25.7).
