The Deliverance of Jagai and Madhai
TEXT 176
bälya-bhäve
mahämatta nityänanda-räya madyapera saìge hatha kahena lïläya
Intoxicated
in the mood of a child, Lord Nityananda spoke to the drunkards as His pastime.
TEXT 177
'uddhäriba
dui-jana'—hena ache mane ataeva niçäya äilä sei sthäne
He had
already decided, "I will deliver these two." That is why He came
there that night.
TEXT 178
'avadhüta'
näma çuni' mädhäi hupiyä märila prabhura sire mutahé tuliyä
On hearing
the name "Avadhüta," Mädhäi became angry. He picked up a clay pot and
hit the Lord's head.
The word
mutakï means "broken clay pot."
TEXT 179
phutila
mutakï sire,—rakta pade dhäre nityånanda-mahåprabhu 'govinda' saìare
The broken
clay pot cut the Lord's head and blood flowed from the wound, yet Lord
Nityänanda simply remembered Govinda.
TEXT 180
dayä haila
jagäira rakta dekhi' mäthe ära-bära märite dharìla tära hate
On seeing
the blood, Jagäi felt compassionate and grabbed the hand of Mädhäi when he
prepared to strike the Lord again.
TEXT 181
"kene
hena karile nirdaya tumi drdha desäntarï märiyä ki haibä tumi bada?
"Why
did you do that? You are very cruel. What will you gain by beating a outsider?
The word
desäntarï means "a person from another province."
TEXT 182
eda eda
avadhüte, nä märiha ära sannyäsï märiyä hon bhäla vä tomära?"
"Leave
Avadhüta alone. Do not beat Him again. What will you gain by beating a
sannyäsï?"

Some
people quickly went and informed the Lord, who imme- diately came there with
His associates. The entire body of Nityananda was covered with blood, yet
Nityananda smiled as He stood there between the two. When the Lord saw the
blood, He lost external consciousness out of anger and repeatedly called out,
"Cakral Cakral Cakral" The Sudarçana cakra immediately ap- peared
there and was seen by Jagäi and Mädhäi. All the Lord's devotees became
bewildered, but Nityananda immediately ap- pealed to the Lord as follows:
"When Mädhäi hit Me, Jagäi saved Me. By providence blood came out, yet I
felt no pain. O Lord, give Me these two in charity. You may be pacified, for I
feel no pain."
On hearing
the news that Mädhäi had injured Çré Nityananda, Çré Gaurasundara came to that
spot and invoked the Sudarçana cakra. The two drunkards became extremely
frightened on seeing the Sudarçana cakra. Çré Nityananda then said to
Mahäprabhu, "I did not feel much trouble due to bloodshed. When Mädhäi
attacked Me, Jagäi protected Me. Nevertheless, by chance blood came out. They
are not at fault. There is no use to retaliate on the bodies of these two
rogues. You may be peaceful, and give Me their two bodies in charity."
TEXT
190-192
jagäi
räkhila',—hena vacana çuniyä jagäyere älirigilä prabhu sukhé haiyä
jagäyere
bale,—"hrsna krpä ham tore nityänanda rähhiyä kinili tuìi more
ye abhésta
citte dekha,—tähä tumi mäga' äji haite hau tora prema-bhakti-läbha"
On hearing
the words, "Jagäi protected Me," the Lord became happy and embraced
Jagäi. He said to Jagäi, "May Krsna bestow mercy on you. By protecting
Nityänanda, you have purchased Me. Ask Me for any benediction you desire. May
you attain pure devotional service from this day on."
After
hearing from Nityänanda Prabhu that He was saved by Jagäi from Mädhäi's attack,
Lord Gaurasundara, who is affectionate to His devotees, lovingly embraced Jagäi
and said, "By protecting Nityänanda from attack, you have purchased Me.
May you attain pure devotional service to Krsna by My blessings."
TEXT 193
jagäyere
vara çuni' vaisnava-mandala 'jaya jaya' hari-dhvani karìlä sakala
On hearing
the benediction awarded to Jagäi, all the Vaisnavas chanted, "Jaya! Jaya!
Hari! Hari!"
TEXT 194
'prema-bhakti
hau' karï yakhana balilä takhani jagäi preme mürcchita hailä
As soon as
the Lord said, "May you attain pure devotional service," Jagài
immediately lost consciousness due to ecstatic love.
TEXT 195
prabhu
bale,—"jagäi, uthiyä dekha more satya ami prema-bhakti däna dila
tore"
The Lord
said, "O Jagäi, get up and see Me. I have indeed awarded you pure
devotional service."
caturbhuja
çaìkha-cakra-gadå-padma-dhara jagäi dekhila sei prabhu viçvambhara
Jagäi saw
Viçvambhara having four arms and holding conch, disc, club, and lotus.
TEXT 197
dehhiyä mürcchita
haìä padila jagäi vahse çré-carana dilä caitanya-gosäìi
Seeing
this, Jagäi fell unconscious to the ground. Lord Çré Caitanya then placed His
lotus foot on Jagäi's chest.
TEXT 198
päiyä
carana-dhana laksmìra jévana dharila jagäi—yena amülya ratana
Receiving
the treasure of the Lord's lotus feet, which are the life and soul of Laksmé,
Jagäi held them tightly as if they were invaluable jewels.
TEXT 199
carane
dhariyä käìde suhrti jagäi e-mata apürva kare gauräìga-gosäìi
The
fortunate Jagäi shed tears as he held the Lord's feet. Such are the wonderful
pastimes of Lord Gauränga.
TEXT 200
eka jéva,
dui deha—jagäi-mädhäi eka punya, eka papa, vaise eka thäìi
Jagäi and
Mädhäi were like one soul with two bodies, yet here one was pious and one was
sinful.
In the
mutual exchange between Jagäi and Mädhäi, sometimes on the pretext of pious
activity one would caution the other from
committing
sinful activities, and at other times when the former would engage in sinful
activities the latter would caution him. Therefore they were both rascals. On
seeing Jagäi's reward, the heart of Mädhäi was transformed.
