TEXT 126
- sabe mili' yukti kari' kīrtana ārambhila
- kīrtana-āveśe prabhura mana sthira haila
SYNONYMS
sabe mili'-meeting all together; yukti kari'-after due consideration; kīrtana—congregational chanting of the holy name; ārambhila—began; kīrtana-āveśe—in the ecstasy of kīrtana; prabhura—of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu; mana—the mind; sthira—pacified; haila—became.
TRANSLATION
After due consideration, all the devotees began chanting the holy name congregationally. Lord Caitanya's mind was thus pacified by the ecstasy of the chanting.
PURPORT
Being absolute, Lord Jagannātha is identical in person, form, picture, kīrtana and all other circumstances. Therefore when Caitanya Mahāprabhu heard the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, He was pacified. Previously, He had been feeling very morose due to separation from Jagannātha. The conclusion is that whenever a kīrtana of pure devotees takes place, the Lord is immediately present. By chanting the holy names of the Lord, we associate with the Lord personally.
