TEXT 61

sākṣāte nā deya dekhā, parokṣe ta' dayā

ke bujhite pāre caitanya-candrera māyā

SYNONYMS

sākṣāte—directiy; nā—not; deya—gives; dekhā—interview; parokṣe—indirectly; ta'-indeed; dayā—there was mercy; ke—who; bujhite—to understand; pāre—is able; caitanya-candrera—of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; māyā—internal potency.

TRANSLATION

Although the King was refused an interview, he was indirectly bestowed causeless mercy. Who can understand the internal potency of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu?

PURPORT

As Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was playing the part of a world teacher, He did not agree to see the King because a king is a mundane person interested in money and women. Indeed, the very name "king" suggests one who is always surrounded by money and women. As a sannyāsī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was afraid of both money and women. The very word "king" is repugnant to one who is in the renounced order of life. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu refused to see the King, but indirectly, by the Lord's causeless mercy, the King was able to understand the Lord's mysterious activities. Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu's activities were exhibited sometimes to reveal Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and sometimes to show Him as a devotee. Both kinds of activity are mysterious and appreciated only by pure devotees.
