In this way Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu performed His pastimes. Coming
to the western part of India, He bestowed good fortune upon the yavanas and
mlecchas.
PURPORT
The word yavana means “‘meat-eater.” Anyone from a meat-eating community
is called a yavana. One who does not strictly observe the Vedic regulative prin-
ciples is called a mleccha. These words do not refer to any particular man. Even if a
person is born in a brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sidra family, he is a mleccha or
yavana if he does not strictly follow the regulative principles or if he eats meat.
