TEXT 112
- sarva-jña kahe āmi tāhā dhyāne dekhilāṅ
- tāhāte aiśvarya dekhi’ phāṅphara ha-ilāṅ
SYNONYMS
sarva-jña — the all-knowing astrologer; kahe — says; āmi — I; tāhā — that; dhyāne — in meditation; dekhilāṅ — saw; tāhāte — there; aiśvarya — opulence; dekhi’ — by seeing; phāṅphara — confused; ha-ilāṅ — became.
TRANSLATION
The astrologer said, “What I saw in meditation was full of opulence, and therefore I was confused.
PURPORT
It appears that the astrologer not only was a knower of past, present and future through astrological calculation, but was a great meditator as well. Therefore he was a great devotee and could see Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to be the same personality as Kṛṣṇa. He was puzzled, however, about whether Kṛṣṇa and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu were actually the same person.
