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.
