TEXT 229

mathurā yāiba āmi eta loka saṅge
kichu sukha nā pāiba, habe rasa-bhaṅge

SYNONYMS

mathurā—the holy place of the name Mathurā; yāiba—shall go; āmi—I; eta—so many; loka—people; saṅge—with; kichu—any; sukha—happiness; nā—not; pāiba—I shall get; habe—there will be; rasa-bhaṅge—a disturbance in the atmosphere.

TRANSLATION

The Lord thought, “If I go to Mathurā with such crowds behind Me, it would not be a very happy situation, for the atmosphere would be disturbed.”

PURPORT

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirms that visiting a holy place like Vṛndāvana with so many people is simply disturbing. He would not find the happiness He desired by visiting such holy places in that way.
