TRANSLATION
“But in the case of the goddess of fortune, | see a different kind of pride.
She manifests her own opulences and even goes with her soldiers to attack her
husband.”’
PURPORT
After seeing the impudence of the goddess of fortune, SvarGipa Damodara
Gosvami wanted to inform Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu about the superexcellence
of the gopis’ loving affairs. He therefore said, “My Lord, | never experienced any-
thing like the behavior of the goddess of fortune. We sometimes see a beloved
wife becoming proud of her position and then frustrated due to some neglect.
She then gives up caring for her appearance, accepts dirty clothes and morosely
sits on the floor and draws lines with her nails. We have heard of such egoistic
pride in Satyabhama and the gopis of Vrndavana, but what we see in the goddess
of fortune here at Jagannatha Puri is completely different. She becomes very angry
with her husband, and attacks Him with her great opulence.”
