TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “‘! can understand that you all desire to take
Me to Kataka to see the King.”

PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is naturally the reservoir of all kindness, and as soon as
He heard the statement made by the King, His heart immediately softened. Thus
the Lord was ready to go see the King even at Kataka. He did not even consider
allowing the King to come from Kataka to Jagannatha Puri to see Him. It is signifi-
cant that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was so kind that He was ready to go see the
King at Kataka. Apparently it was never expected that the King wanted to see the
Lord at His place, but by way of being externally harsh, the Lord indicated that if
all the devotees so desired, He would go to Kataka to see the King.
