PLATE FOUR

“Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu then took His bath in a lake called Govinda-
kunda, and while He was there, He heard that the Deity Gopala had
already gone to Ganthuli-grama. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu then went to
the village of Ganthuli-grama and saw the Lord Gopdla Deity. Over-
whelmed by ecstatic love, He began to chant and dance. As soon as the
Lord saw the beauty of the Gopdla Deity, He was immediately over-
whelmed by ecstatic love, and He recited the following verse. He then
chanted and danced until the day ended. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said,
‘May the left arm of Sri Krsna, whose eyes are like the petals of a lotus
flower, always protect you. With His left arm He raised Govardhana Hill
as if it were a toy.'” (pp.147-149)
