TEXT 57

bāhya-jñāna nāhi, se-kāle kṛṣṇa-nāma śuni,
āliṅgana karibena tomāya 'vaiṣṇava' jāni'


SYNONYMS

bāhya-jñāna nāhi—without external consciousness; se-kāle—at that time; kṛṣṇa-nāma śuni'—by hearing the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa; āliṅgana karibena—He will embrace; tomāya—you; vaiṣṇava jāni'—taking you to be a Vaiṣṇava.


TRANSLATION

"Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu will be in a mood of ecstatic love, without external consciousness. At that time, as you recite those chapters from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, He will embrace you, knowing you to be a pure Vaiṣṇava.


PURPORT

A Vaiṣṇava is always ready to help another Vaiṣṇava progress toward realization of the Absolute Truth. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya could understand the King's position as a pure Vaiṣṇava. The King was always thinking of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and the Bhaṭṭācārya wanted to help him approach the Lord. A Vaiṣṇava is always compassionate, especially when he sees a prospective devotee very much determined (dṛḍha-vrata). Consequently the Bhaṭṭācārya was ready to help the King.
