106 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 12
sonal servants of the Deity and the spiritual master should therefore always be
very careful, for negligence may overcome them in their duty.

Lord Sri Caitanya Mahdaprabhu’s eyes have been compared to thirsty
bumblebees, and Sri Jagannatha’s eyes have been compared to blossoming lotus
flowers. The author has made these comparisons in order to describe Lord Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu while the Lord was deeply absorbed in ecstatic love for
Lord Jagannatha.
