PLATE SIX

“Maharaja Prataparudra was so humble that with folded hands he first
took permission from all the devotees. Then, with great courage, he fell
down and touched the lotus feet of the Lord. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
was lying on the ground with His eyes closed in ecstatic love and emo-
tion, and the King very expertly began to massage His legs. The King
began to recite verses about the rasa-lila from Srimad-Bhagavatam. He
recited the chapter beginning with the words ‘jayati te ‘dhikam.’ When Sri
Caitanya Mahdaprabhu heard these verses, He was pleased beyond limits,
and He said again and again, ‘Go on reciting, go on reciting.’”
(pp.226-228)
