Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya first introduced Janardana, saying, “Here is Janar-
dana, servant of Lord Jagannatha. He renders service to the Lord when it is
time to renovate His transcendental body.”

PURPORT

During Anavasara, after the Snana-yatra ceremony, Lord Jagannatha is absent
from the temple for fifteen days so He can be renovated. This occurs annually.
Janardana, who is here being introduced to $ri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, was render-
ing this service at the time. The renovation of Lord Jagannatha is also known as
Nava-yauvana, which indicates that the Jagannatha Deity is being fully restored to
youth.
