TEXT 64

prabhura śāpa-vārtā yei śune śraddhāvān
brahma-śāpa haite tāra haya paritrāṇa


SYNONYMS

prabhura—of the Lord; śāpa-vārtā—the incident of the curse; yei—anyone who; śune—hears; śraddhāvān—with affection; brahma-śāpa—cursing by a brāhmaṇa; haite—from; tāra—his; haya—becomes; paritrāṇa—deliverance.


TRANSLATION

Any faithful person who hears of this brāhmaṇa's cursing Lord Caitanya is delivered from all brahminical curses.


PURPORT

One should know with firm conviction that the Lord, being transcendental, is never subject to any curse or benediction. Only ordinary living entities are subjected to curses and the punishments of Yamarāja. As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is beyond such punishments and benedictions. When one understands this fact with faith and love, he personally becomes free from all curses uttered by brāhmaṇas or anyone else. This incident is not mentioned in the Caitanya-bhāgavata.
