TEXT 222

ei-mata cali' prabhu 'prayāga' āilā
daśa-dina triveṇīte makara-snāna kailā


SYNONYMS

ei-mata—in this way; cali'-walking; prabhu—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; prayāga—the holy place named Prayāga; āilā—reached; daśa-dina—ten days; triveṇīte—at the confluence of the Rivers Ganges and Yamunā; makara-snāna kailā—bathed during the festival of Makara, or Māgha-melā.


TRANSLATION

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu finally arrived at Prayāga and for ten successive days bathed in the confluence of the Rivers Yamunā and Ganges during the festival of Makara-saṅkrānti [Māgha-melā].


PURPORT

Actually the word triveṇī indicates the confluence of three rivers-namely the Ganges, Yamunā and Sarasvatī. Presently the Sarasvatī River is not visible, but the River Ganges and the River Yamunā merge at Allahabad.
