PLATE TWO

“There was also one brahmana named Vasudeva,
who was a great person but was suffering from leprosy.
Although suffering from leprosy, Vasudeva was en-
lightened. When he came to Kdrma’s house to see
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he was informed that the Lord
had already left. The leper then fell to the ground un-
conscious. When Vasudeva, the leper brahmana, was
lamenting due to not being able to see Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu, the Lord immediately returned to that
spot and embraced him. When Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu touched him, both the leprosy and his
distress went to a distant place. Indeed, Vasudeva’s
body became very beautiful, to his great happiness.”
