TEXT 113
- ei sukha lāgi’ āmi kariluṅ sannyāsa!
- āmāra ‘sarva-nāśa’—tomā-sabāra ‘parihāsa’
SYNONYMS
ei—this; sukha—happiness; lāgi’—for; āmi—I; kariluṅ sannyāsa—have taken to the renounced order; āmāra sarva-nāśa—My ruination; tomā-sabāra—of all of you; parihāsa—joking.
TRANSLATION
“Have I taken sannyāsa for such happiness? Accepting this oil would bring My ruination, and all of you would laugh.
PURPORT
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu declared Himself a strict sannyāsī. A sannyāsī is not supposed to take help from anyone. Retaining a masseur to give Him massages would indicate His dependence on others. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted to follow very strictly the principle of not accepting anyone’s help for His bodily comfort.
