    Chapter

    Śrī Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita

    When Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita saw this extraordinary manifestation of the Lord, he was overcome with feelings of love and began to recite hymns of praise. Mahāprabhu was pleased with Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita’s recital and told him to call his wife and family members to see His divine form. He gave His prasāda to Nārāyaṇī Devī and showed His mercy to her by making her utter the Holy Name. Just as the devotee is dear to the Lord, the Lord is also dear to His devotee.

    Lord Krishna Himself Provides Everything

    Mahaprabhu responded to Srivas Pandit’s statement by giving a roar and repeated the blessing He had given him before in Navadvipa, “Even if the Goddess of Fortune has to go begging, you will never know want in your home. Lord Krishna Himself provides everything that His exclusive devotees need.”

    A Person Related to A Devotee is Also Dear to Krishna

    Dukhi is related to Srivas Pandit. A person related to a devotee is also dear to Krishna. Krishna or Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not seeing other qualities. Similarly, there was a tailor who was Muslim by birth who used to sew garments of Srivas Pandit. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said he may be a Muslim but he has aptitude and desire to serve Srivas Pandit and his family members. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was satisfied. He has no other qualities. When Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was chanting and dancing He infused the divine love in that Muslim tailor and he also started dancing. By chanting of holy names he got all ecstatic feelings that muni rishis cannot get.
