Chanting Kṛṣṇa’s Name Brought Semiconsciousness
“When we chanted the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, however, You came to semiconsciousness, and we have all been hearing You speak like a madman.”
What the purport teaches

- As they chanted, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu came to semiconsciousness.
- They heard Him speak as if mad; the surrounding verses connect His speech with His vision of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes.
