TEXT 117
- tāhāñi karila kūrma-purāṇa śravaṇa
- māyā-sītā nileka rāvaṇa, tāhāte likhana
SYNONYMS
tāhāñi—there; karila—did; kūrma-purāṇa—of the Kūrma Purāṇa; śravaṇa—hearing; māyā-sītā—a false Sītā; nileka—kidnapped; rāvaṇa—by Rāvaṇa; tāhāte—in that book; likhana—it is stated.
TRANSLATION
At Rāmeśvara, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had a chance to read the Kūrma Purāṇa, in which He discovered that the form of Sītā kidnapped by Rāvaṇa was not that of the real Sītā but a mere shadow representation.
PURPORT
The Kūrma Purāṇa states that this shadowy Sītā was placed into a fire as a test of chastity. It was Māyā-sītā who entered the fire and the real Sītā who came out of the fire.
