TRANSLATION

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was very satisfied to see the King accept the
menial task of sweeping the street, and for this humility, the King received the
mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He could therefore observe the mystery of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s activities.

PURPORT

The mystery of the Lord’s activities is described by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta
Sarasvati Thakura. Lord Jagannatha was astonished to see the transcendental
dancing and chanting of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and He stopped His car just to
see the dancing. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu then danced in such a mystical way
that He pleased Lord Jagannatha. The seer and the dancer were one and the same
Supreme Person, but the Lord, being one and many at the same time, was exhibit-
ing the variegatedness of His pastimes. This is the meaning behind His mysterious
exhibition. By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the King could understand
how both of Them were enjoying each other's activities. Another mysterious ex-
hibition was Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s simultaneous presence in seven groups.
By the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the King could understand that also.
