The Lord Invites the Boy to Chant
“Again and again Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked the boy to chant the name of Kṛṣṇa, but the boy would not utter the holy name.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu repeatedly asked the boy to chant the name of Kṛṣṇa.
- Although the Lord asked again and again, the boy would not utter the holy name.
- The later explanation in this passage suggests that the boy’s silence did not mean he was neglecting the name.
