ecstatic in the utterance of love and began to cry taking the name of Nityananda. Prabhu became unconscious in
ecstasy. After a long time Prabhu got back his senses as Svarupa began to chant Harinama in his ears. Prabhu
then suggested that they should have a darshan of God Jagannatha when Sarva Bhauma came to meet him.
On seeing Sarva Bhauma Prabhu became very happy and told him, "Take a seat and listen to me. Advaita
Acarya has begun to propagate the theory of salvation by giving up the theory of devotion so what should we
do?" Sarva Bhauma was very sad to see the distressed Prabhu and he told Prabhu, "Advaita Acarya is God
himself and the creator of this universe. He cannot talk like this. Who has said this to you? Bring him here
before me." Prabhu said, "Advaita had become very disappointed as I had left Navadvipa. So he is doing this to
frighten the people because he can do anything that is in his mind. I have full faith in Acarya and cannot violate
his orders. Now suggest something that will save devotion with all its prime importance." Bhattacarya said, "O
my Lord, you can suggest the right thing as you are all there is proof of it. It was my wrong fascination for the
doctrine of Maya that was rectified by your grace. The Kaliyuga element is rotten. The kings who are all
heretics have been dominating over people. Once Nityananda had curbed their powers by propagating harinama
which is the best medicine and this Nityananda you have sent to Gauda. Now my Lord with Nityananda you are
the right person to make an attempt to save devotion."
Prabhu said, "I have parted with Nityananda. Now what shall I do?" Bhattacarya said, "Who will give a
suggestion? Only you can consult with Prabhu Jagannatha of Nilacala." Prabhu said, "This is a good idea,
Bhatta, let us go to Lord Jagannatha." In the temple, Prabhu began to pray to Jagannath Deva. Suddenly the 14
yard long garland of Jaganntha fell to the ground and the priest handed it to Prabhu. Prabhu became very happy
and returned to his house with a free mind to went to bed. Jagannatha Deva appeared to him in a dream with a
face full of smiles that night. He said to Prabhu, "You are much superior to me in quality. A brahmin came to
me and stayed here for a long time, he has no sons for which he has been crying to me. I became very much
moved and granted him his boon. The brahmin is known as Caitanya Dasa Acarya who is a very worthy man to
possess love. You should deposit your love in him. Then the brahmin will have nothing to repent for. His wife
Lakshmipriya is the daughter of Balarama and she is a devoted wife and of a sweet disposition."
At that very moment Mahaprabhu came back to his senses and began to cry in despair at the thought of
Jagannath. Prabhu called on Kasi Misra and ordered him to bring Caitanya dasa Acarya of Gauda because
Jagannatha had told him about that person. Misra said, "My Lord, the brahmin was there for a long time but
now he has gone to his country." Prabhu asked, "Do you know where he lives?" Misra said, "I will find out."
In the meantime Jagadananda came from Vrndavana. Prabhu asked him about the well being of Sanatana.
He reported that everything was fine there. He had also visited Mahaprabhu's mother in Navadvipa and Advaita
Acarya in Santipura. At the time of his leaving Acarya had said something mysterious to be conveyed to
Prabhu. Prabhu said that he had not heard such a riddle and began to laugh. But from that time Prabhu became
overwhelmed in the sorrow of separation from Krsna and the inevitable happened as to what Jagannatha had
said to Him. He said, "Now do something to save love. Jagannatha has ordered me to meet Caitanya dasa. Do
search for him." Here the earth could not bear the burden of Prabhu's love any longer and the whole earth began
to shake in an earthquake all day and night. The people began to say that this was not an earthquake that was
shaking the country but it was Caitanya who had done this. Formerly Caitanya had deposited his love in the
ocean which had flooded Nilacala. The ocean became helpless in keeping it and deposited it to the earth who in
her turn could not keep it any longer and so began to shake the country. Some said that as the former had no
issues and property too, why shoud they leave this country? Some said that only Sri Caitanya could solve it. So
they went to the house of Misra and began to shout in excitement. Prabhu with Svarupa and others came out of
the room and his appearance made the people more excited. They told Prabhu, "Once you saved us from the
flood. Now the earth is shaking, O Lord, please save us from this calamity. You are the only one who can save
us, do something to help us to here instead of shifting elsewhere."
In the meantime the priest of the temple brought the praadam of Jagannatha and reported to Prabhu. "O my
Lord, I have become helpless in doing service to Jagannatha because as soon as I tried to touch him, his whole
body began to tremble, so service to Jagannatha has been totally stopped." Prabhu called on the Earth and
ordered her to take control of herself. The priest then requested Prabhu to do service to Jagannatha Deva with
his own hands. Prabhu pacified the priest and all of them went to their own houses but Prabhu kept on thinking
about Caitanya dasa. He again called the Earth and asked her about Caitanya dasa. The earth replied that there
were many Caitanya dasas, whom was she to search for? Prabhu told here everything that he knew about the
