PLATE SEVEN

“Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, accompanied by His per-
sonal associates, met all the Vaisnavas on the road
with great jubilation. First Advaita Acarya offered
prayers to the lotus feet of the Lord, and the Lord im-
mediately embraced Him in ecstatic love. After this, all
the devotees, headed by Srivaisa Thakura, offered
prayers to the lotus feet of the Lord, and the Lord
embraced each and every one of them in great love
and ecstasy. The Lord addressed all the devotees one
after another and took all of them with Him into the
house. Since the residence of Kasi Misra was insuffi-
cient, all the assembled devotees were very over-
crowded. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu made all the devo-
tees sit at His side, and with His own hand He offered
them garlands and sandalwood pulp.” (pp.277-280)
