TEXT 114

kavi kahe,—‘jagannātha—sundara-śarīra
caitanya-gosāñi—śarīrī mahā-dhīra


SYNONYMS

kavi kahe—the poet said; jagannātha—Lord Jagannātha; sundara-śarīra—very beautiful body; caitanya-gosāñi—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; śarīrī—possessor of the body; mahā-dhīra—very grave.


TRANSLATION

The poet said, “Lord Jagannātha is a most beautiful body, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is exceptionally grave, is the owner of that body.


PURPORT

Śarīrī refers to a person who owns the śarīra, or body. As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 2.13):

dehino ‘smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.” For the ordinary living being in material existence there is a division or distinction between the body and the owner of the body. In spiritual existence, however, there is no such distinction, for the body is the owner himself and the owner is the body itself. In spiritual existence, everything must be spiritual. Therefore there is no distinction between the body and its owner.
