TRANSLATION

Although the King was refused an interview, he was indirectly bestowed
causeless mercy. Who can understand the internal potency of Sri Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu?

PURPORT

As Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was playing the part of a world teacher, He did not
agree to see the King because a king is a mundane person interested in money
and women. Indeed, the very name “king” suggests one who is always sur-
rounded by money and women. As a sannydsi, Sti Caitanya Mahaprabhu was
afraid of both money and women. The very word “king” is repugnant to one who
is in the renounced order of life. Sri Caitanya Mahdaprabhu refused to see the King,
but indirectly, by the Lord’s causeless mercy, the King was able to understand the
Lord's mysterious activities. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's activities were exhibited
sometimes to reveal Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and sometimes
to show Him as a devotee. Both kinds of activity are mysterious and appreciated
only by pure devotees.
