PURPORT

Kala Krsnadasa was influenced and allured by nomads or gypsies, who enticed
him with women. Mayd is so strong that Kala Krsnadasa left Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu’s company to join gypsy women. Even though a person may associ-
ate with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he can be allured by maya and leave the Lord’s
company due to his slight independence. Only one who is overwhelmed by maya
can be so unfortunate as to leave Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s company, yet unless
one is very conscientious, the influence of maya can drag one away, even though
he be the personal assistant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And what to speak of
others? The Bhattatharis used to increase their numbers by using women to allure
outsiders. This is factual evidence showing that it is possible at any time to fall
down from the Lord’s association. One need only misuse his little independence.
Once fallen and separated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s associa-
tion, one becomes a candidate for suffering in the material world. Although re-
jected by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Kala Krsnadasa was given another chance, as
the following verses relate.
