PLATE FIVE

“Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu bathed in all the celebrated lakes, beginning
with Lake Pavana. Thereafter He climbed a hill and spoke to the people.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked, ‘Are there any deities on top of this hill?’
The local people replied, ‘There are deities on this hill, but they are
located within a cave. There is a father and mother with well-built bodies,
and between them is a very beautiful child who is curved in three places.’
Hearing this, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu became very happy. After excavat-
ing the cave, He saw the three deities. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offered
His respects to Nanda Maharaja and mother Yasoda, and with great
ecstatic love He touched the body of Lord Krsna.” (pp.160-762 )
