PLATE TWO

“On the victory day celebrating the conquest of Latki—a day known
as Vijaya-daSami—Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu dressed up all His devotees
like monkey soldiers. Displaying the emotions of Hanuman, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu took up a large tree branch, and, mounting the walls of
Lanka fort, began to dismantle it. In the ecstasy of Hanuman, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu angrily said, ‘Where is the rascal Ravana? He has kidnapped
the universal mother, Sita. Now | shall kill him and all his family.’ Everyone
became very astonished to see the emotional ecstasy of Sri Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu, and everyone began to chant, ‘All glories! All glories!’ again
and again.” (pp.76-77)
