TEXT 50

prabhu paramparāya nindā kairāchena śravaṇa
ebe sākṣāt śunilena 'kalpita' nindana


SYNONYMS

prabhu—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; paramparāya—by hearsay; nindā—blasphemy; kairāchena śravaṇa—had heard; ebe—now; sākṣāt—directly; śunilena—He heard; kalpita—imaginary; nindana—blasphemy.


TRANSLATION

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had heard rumors about Rāmacandra Purī's blasphemy. Now He directly heard his fanciful accusations.


PURPORT

Rāmacandra Purī could find no faults in the character of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, for He is situated in a transcendental position as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Ants are generally found everywhere, but when Rāmacandra Purī saw ants crawling in the abode of the Lord, he took for granted that they must have been there because Caitanya Mahāprabhu had been eating sweetmeats. He thus discovered imaginary faults in the Lord and then left.
