PLATE EIGHT

“While crossing the River Yamuna, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the
glossy black water and was immediately bewildered with ecstatic love.
Indeed, as soon as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the River Yamuna, He
immediately made a great sound and jumped into the water. Everyone
was filled with fear and trembling to see this. They all hastily grabbed Sri
Caitanya Mahdaprabhu and pulled Him out of the water. Once on the
boat's platform, the Lord began to dance. Due to the Lord’s heavy weight,
the boat began to tilt. It began filling up with water and was on the verge
of sinking. Sri Caitanya Mahdaprabhu tried to restrain Himself as far as
possible before Vallabhacarya, but although He tried to keep calm, His
ecstatic love could not be checked.” (pp.286-288 )
