Below is the 1996 edition text, ready to be substituted with the 1975 one using the compile form.

TEXT 42

ye daṇḍa pāila śrī-śacī bhāgyavatī
se daṇḍa prasāda anya loka pābe kati


SYNONYMS

ye daṇḍa—the punishment; pāila—got; śrī-śacī bhāgyavatī—the most fortunate mother Śacīdevī; se daṇḍa—the same punishment; prasāda—favor; anya—other; loka—person; pābe—can get; kati—how.


TRANSLATION

“A similar punishment was awarded to mother Śacīdevī. Who could be more fortunate than she to receive such punishment?”


PURPORT

Mother Śacīdevī was similarly punished, as mentioned in the Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khaṇḍa, Chapter Twenty-two. Mother Śacīdevī, apparently showing her feminine nature, accused Advaita Prabhu of encouraging her son to become a sannyāsī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, taking this accusation as an offense, asked Śacīdevī to touch the lotus feet of Advaita Ācārya to mitigate the offense she had supposedly committed.
