TRANSLATION
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 Sri 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.
