The Deliverance of Jagai and Madhai
TEXT 301
advaita-pratibhå
çunï häse viçvambhara 'hari' balï dhvani kare saba-anucara
On hearing
Advaita's comment, Viçvambhara smiled and all the devotees chanted the name of
Hari.
TEXT 302
prabhu
bale,—"kälä dekha duira pätake kïrtana karaha—saba yäuka nindake"
The Lord
said, "See how these two sinners are black. Perform kértana so that their
sins take shelter in those who blaspheme."
Mahäprabhu
said, "The forms of Jagäi's and Mädhäi's sinful reac- tions are black. All
of you perform kértana, then these black sinful reactions will take shelter in
those who blaspheme the devotees, and Jagäi and Mädhäi will be delivered from
their sins."
TEXT 303
çuniyä
prabhura våkya sabära ulläsa mahänande haila kértana-parakäça
Hearing
the Lord's words, everyone became jubilant. They then began to perform kértana
in ecstasy.
TEXT 304
näce
prabhu viçvambhara nityänanda-saìge vediyä vaisnava saba yaçah gäya range
Lord
Viçvambhara danced with Nityänanda, and all the Vaisnavas surrounded Them and
sang the glories of the Lord.
nåcaye
advaita—yära lägï avatära yähära kärane haila jagata-uddhära
Advaita
also danced. He had induced the Lord to incarnate and thus delivered the entire
world.
TEXT 306
kïrtana
karaye sabe diyä karatäli sabäi karena nrtya haye Jeutühalé
As they
performed kértana, everyone clapped their hands and danced jubilantly.
TEXT 307
prabhu-prati
mahänande käro nähi bhaya prabhu-saìge kata laksa thelätheli haya
They felt
no fear as they bumped into the Lord thousands of times in their ecstasy.
TEXT 308
vadhü-saìge
dekhe äi gharera bhitare vasiyä bhäsaye äi änanda-sägare
Mother
Çacé and her daughter-in-law floated in an ocean of ecstasy as they watched
everything from within the house.
From
within the house, mother Çacé and Çré Visnupriyä saw the Lord's pastimes of
delivering Jagäi and Mädhäi. As a result they became absorbed in ecstasy.
TEXT 309
sabei
paramänanda dekhiyå prakäça kähäro nä ghuce krsnäveçera ulläsa
Everyone
was filled with ecstasy after seeing this pastime. Their ecstatic love for
Krsna was uninterrupted.
yära aìga
parasite ramä bhaya päya se prabhura aìga-saìge madyapa näcaya
The two
drunkards danced in the association of He whose body the goddess of fortune is
afraid to touch.
TEXT 311
madyapere
uddhärilä caitanya-gosäìi vaisnava-nindake humbhïpäke dilä thäìi
In this
way Lord Caitanya delivered the two drunkards and sent the blasphemers of the
Vaisnavas to the hell known as Kumbhìpäka.
TEXT 312
nindäya nä
bade dharma—sabe papa läbha etehe nä hare nindä saba mahäbhäga
Blasphemy
does not enhance one's religious principles, it only results in sin. That is
why fortunate souls do not engage in blasphemy.
The
devotees of the Lord do not blaspheme anyone in this world. One who blasphemes
others is known as "sinful" or "irreligious." To attribute
on someone faults that are not present is called blasphemy. Being induced by
irrelevant goals, those who are unable to tolerate the glorification of others
and with a desire to attack them unfairly attribute faults on them continually
meet with inauspiciousness day after day. A person who out of envy attributes
faults on an ir- reproachable Vaisnava must go to the hell known as Kumbhïpäka
and suffer severe miseries. Those sinful persons who cannot under- stand that
sarva-mahäguna-gana vaisnava-çarére—"all good qualities are present in the
body of a Vaisnava," and who consider that non-Vaisnavas are equal to
Vaisnavas can never achieve any benefit. To criticize the behavior of
nondevotees is called sad-upadeça, or good instruction. Other than devotional
service to Visnu, all ac- tivities of the living entities are condemnable.
Sinful people often
engage in
abominable activities on the pretext of devotional service to Visnu.
Instructions to give up these activities should not be called nindä, or
blasphemy.
TEXT 313
dui dasyu
dui mahäbhägavata kari' ganera sahita näce gauräìga-çré-harì
After
transforming the two rogues into mahä-bhägavatas, Çré Gaurahari danced along
with His associates.
TEXT 314
nrtyäveçe
vasïlä thäkura viçvambhara vasüä caudihe vedï vaisnava-mandala
Overwhelmed
from dancing, Lord Viçvambhara sat down, and all the Vaisnavas sat around Him.
TEXT
315-316
sarva-aìge
dhülä cäì-aìguli-pramäna tathäpi sabära aìga 'nirmala' gey äna
pürvavat
hailä prabhu gauräìga-sundara häsiyä sabäre bale prabhu viçvambhara
Their
bodies were covered with two inches of dust, yet they were all filled with pure
knowledge. Lord Gaurasundara regained His former state, smiled, and spoke to
everyone there.
Although
those Vaisnavas who sat around Çréman Mahäprabhu were covered with two inches
of dust and externally appeared dirty, all of them were all-knowing and topmost
scholars without con- tamination.
TEXT 317
"e
du'yere päpé-hena nä kariha mane e du'yera papa muìi dahtluri äpane
"Do
not consider these two as sinners, for I have personally burned their sinful
reactions to ashes.
TEXT 318
sarva-dehe
muìi karoì, boloì, caloì khäìa tabe dehapäta, yabe muìi calï yäìa
"In
the bodies of all living entities, it is I who makes them act, speak, move, and
eat. When I leave a body, it dies.
When the
living entity attains spiritual knowledge he no longer maintains the three
types of false ego. The living entity then sur- renders at the lotus feet of
the Lord and becomes liberated. In the Caitanya-caìtämrta (Antya 4.192-193) it
is stated:
dlksä-käle
bhakta kare ätma-samarpana sei-käle krsna tare kare ätma-sama
sei deha
kare tära cid-änanda-maya apräkrta-déhe täìra carana bhajaya
"At
the time of initiation, when a devotee fully surrenders unto the service of the
Lord, Krsna accepts him to be as good as Himself. When the devotee's body is
thus transformed into spiritual exist- ence, the devotee, in that
transcendental body, renders service to the lotus feet of the Lord." After
Çré Gaurasundara accepted the bodies of Jagäi and Mädhäi to be as good as His
own, whatever He had them do, whatever He had them speak, however He had them
behave, and whatever He had them eat was favorable for the service of Visnu. In
this way, after turning one towards the Lord's service, the worshi- pable Lord
takes His worshiper servant, who leaves a body made of the five gross elements
within the material world, and departs.
TEXT 319
yei dehe
alpa duhkhe jïva däka chäde muìi vinä sei deha padile nä nade
"The
living entity cries out if he feels a little distress, but if I am not present
in that body it will not even move when burned.
When a
conditioned soul feels a little distress, he shouts loudly because of
impatience. When the Lord and the devotee leave a body, it does not react even
if it is burned with fire. The Lord is transcen- dental and has supreme
consciousness, while the living entity is a fragmental spiritual particle. As
long as one does not have the propensity for transcendental service due to the
absence of Krsna consciousness, one becomes controlled by three types of false
ego and continues to display independence. The proper use of inde- pendence is
to become inclined towards the service of the Lord, but the senses of persons
who are averse to the Lord's service are induced by three types of false ego to
engage in pious and impious activities and more or less identify with material
nature.
TEXT 320
tabe
yejévera duhkha—kare ahaìkära 'muìi karoì, baloì' balï päya mahä-mära
"But
the living entity's distress is due to false ego. He suffers miseries because
he claims, T am the doer. I am the speaker.'
Since the
living entity who has become averse to the Lord con- siders himself a product
of and belonging to material nature, the three types of false ego immerse him
in an ocean of distress. He then becomes afflicted with the threefold material
miseries and proudly considers, "I am the doer. 1 am the enjoyer."
TEXT 321
eteke
yateka kaila ei dui jane karüäìa ami, ghucäiläma äpane
"Therefore
the activities done by these two were actually done by Me, and I have released
them from the reactions.
"Jagäi
and Mädhäi were intoxicated with false prestige, and they misused their
independence. I have personally destroyed their mis- fortune; in other words, I
have delivered them from the misconceptions of T have done, I have said,' which
were produced from the misuse of their independence."
ihäjänï e
du'yere sakala vaisnava dekhibä abheda-drstye yena tumi-saba
"Knowing
this fact, all of you Vaisnavas should see them as one of you and not
discriminate against them.
TEXT
323-324
çuna ei
äjìä mora, ye hau ämära e du'yere çraddhä kari' ye diba ähära
ananta
brahmända-mäjhe yata madhu vaise se haya krsnera mukhe dile prema-rase
"If
you really belong to Me, then listen to My order. Whatever you faithfully give
these two to eat will be equal to offering with love to Krsna's mouth all the
honey available in innumerable
universes.
TEXT 325
e du'yera
vata mätra dibe yei jana
tära se
krsnera mukhe madhu-samarpana
"Anyone
who gives these two a small portion of food gives honey to the mouth of Krsna.
The Lord
relishes foodstuffs through the mouths of His devotees. The devotees do not
enjoy any material object like nondevotees do. Since the devotees offer
everything to the Lord and constantly remain engaged in the service of
accepting His remnants, if someone gives a small portion of food to a devotee
of the Lord, then it amounts to offering sweetmeats to Çré Krsna. In this regard
one should discuss the commentary on verse 228 of this chapter.
