ahmin. On the third day the Earth came back with the information that Caitanya dasa used to live in Cakandi
village and he was a very religious minded brahmin. Now he had been performing some rituals for the birth of a
son. Prabhu became happy and ordered the Earth, "Listen to me carefully, you go and deposit this love in
Lakshmipriya to the fullest quantity." The Earth at once obeyed the order of Prabhu who here in Nilacala was
very much relieved and began kirtana and dancing in the courtyard of the temple of Lord Jagannatha. Prabhu
stood before Jagannath with folded hands and began to cry uttering the name of a certain Srinivasa. Jagannatha
being very delighted began to laugh and sent love for Caitanya dasa. On seeing the smile of Jagannatha, Prabhu
also began to laugh. Being ordered by Jagannatha Prabhu sent his love to Caitanya dasa the result of which was
a son named Srinivasa who would perform many pastimes in his life. Formerly Rupa and Sanatana had gone to
Vrndavana to propagate and publish devotional books on Radha Krsna lila. Later the charge would be handed
over to Srinivasa. After bowing to Jagannatha, Prabhu returned to his house and called on Kasi Misra. Svarupa
and Ramananda came to consult with Prabhu and they suggested that he send a letter to Nityananda in Gauda
because he had been anxiously waiting for it. Prabhu accepted this suggestion gladly and wrote a letter with his
own hand writing to Nityananda and advised him to perform Harinama Sankirtana in every house and also to
discard Mayavada and propagate Bhaktivada. He also ordered Nityananda to flood the universe in Harinama
Sankirtana. Prabhu informed Nityananda that there was a village named Cakandi near the river Ganges where
lived a brahmin named Caitanya dasa. He would get a son named Srinivasa who would be the embodiment of
love and a great Vaisnava.
While Prabhu had been spending his days with a free mind, a letter from Sanatana reached him in which
Sanatana had written that Gopala Bhatta had come to Vrndavana to stay. Prabhu was so glad with the news that
he told it to all his devotees. Prabhu said that he wanted to send some gifts to Vrndavana but, "I am a poor
penniless sannyasi. I have nothing substantial except my dora and asana but they are very powerful in their
importance as they belong to me. I'll send them to Bhatta." Prabhu wrote a letter to Sanatana in which he
advised Rupa to carry on writing the lila shastras. Rupa would be glad to know that Gauda would produce a
jewel-like person named Srinivasa who would be born in a brahmin family. He would manifest the Radha Krsna
lila in Gauda. Prabhu wrote, "after my disappeaance Srinivasa will go to Vrndavana. Hand over your books to
Srinivasa then. I'll send Nityananda to Gauda with Ramadasa, Gadadhara and Sundarananda. Caitanya dasa has
been praying now in Nilacala for a son and he has got the favor of Jagannath Deva. I am now living with
Svarupa and Rama Raya in a lonely kunja in Nilacala. I am sending a vaisnava to you with asana and dora.
Ramananda has given him the money to be spent on the way."
When the Vaisnava reached Vrndavana, Rupa and Sanatana both were sitting in a lonely place. Receiving
the letter of Mahaprabhu, the two brothers became so delighted that they could not control their emotions.
When they got the dora and asana, they simply became unconscious in ecstasy. They began to cry by pulling the
dora around their necks. They fell on the ground by crying out the name of Gaurahari. They began to lament
saying, "Can we see the face of Prabhu Gauracandra again? Our hearts are aching in pain for not hearing his
sweet words." They rolled on the ground crying loudly and by holding the asana to their bosoms they could
smell the scent of Prabhu. In the meantime Bhugarva and Lokenath came to that place. They also fell on the
ground in misery.
Now, O listeners, listen to the apathetic nature of Lokenath. Lokenath used to remain in seclusion without
anybody. He used to remain in deep meditation by closing his eyes and sometimes he used to cry and
sometimes laugh in a trance. He was the most favorite devotee of Mahaprabhu. Rupa and Sanatana used to
respect him to a great extent. Once there would come Narottama to be his disciple who would manifest love on
the earth in the proper sense of the term. Narottama would come from Gaderahat and he was the son of
Krsnananda Raya. As Rupa Sanatana belonged to one self so also Srinivasa and Narottama. Gauranga had
named him as Narottama. I shall discuss about him later, now I will discuss the mental condition of Rupa and
Sanatana. Observing the miserable condition of Sanatana, Rupa told him, "If you behave like this no one will
survive, you are the genuine embodiment of Prabhu. Do not be so perturbed." In this way Rupa somewhat
consoled Sanatana but since then Sanatana used to remain very restless fearing the separation of Sri Gauranga.
Both of them controlled each other. Then Rupa and Sanatana with the asana and dora went to Bhatta. They read
the letter to Bhatta who at once became unconscious. Sri Rupa and Sanatana pacified him and Sanatana started
telling Bhatta, "Listen to me Bhatta, you can sit on this asana while you are talking about Krsna or Prabhu.
There is no sin in it but how can I sit on my Prabhu's asana? Prabhu has ordered me and how can I disobey it?"
