SYNONYMS
tomara upare—upon you; prabhura—of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; su-
prasanna—very satisfied; mana—the mind; tomd—you; laksya kari’—pointing
out; sikhdyena—He teaches; nija gana—His personal associates.
TRANSLATION
Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya informed the King, ‘‘The Lord is very satisfied
with you. By pointing you out, He was teaching His personal associates how to
behave with mundane people.”
PURPORT
Although outwardly the King was a mundane man interested in money and
women, internally he was purified by devotional activities. He showed this by
engaging as a street sweeper to please Lord Jagannatha. A person may appear to
be a pounds-and-shillings man interested in money and women, but if he is ac-
tually very meek and humble and surrendered to the Supreme Personality of God-
head, he is not mundane. Such a judgment can be made only by Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and His very confidential devotees. As a general principle, however,
no devotee should intimately mix with mundane people interested in money and
women.
