TEXT 42

ye daṇḍa pāila śrī-śacī bhāgyavatī
se daṇḍa prasāda anya loka pābe kati


SYNONYMS

ye daṇḍa — the punishment; pāila — got; śrī-śacī bhāgyavatī — the most fortunate mother Śacīdevī; se daṇḍa — the same punishment; prasāda — favor; anya — other; loka — person; pābe — can get; kati — how.


TRANSLATION

A similar punishment was awarded to mother Śacīdevī. Who could be more fortunate than she to receive such punishment?”


PURPORT

Mother Śacīdevī was similarly punished, as mentioned in the Caitanya-bhāgavata, Madhya-khaṇḍa, Chapter Twenty-two. Mother Śacīdevī, apparently showing her feminine nature, accused Advaita Prabhu of encouraging her son to become a sannyāsī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, taking this accusation as an offense, asked Śacīdevī to touch the lotus feet of Advaita Ācārya to mitigate the offense she had supposedly committed.
