Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 18.36

Considering Where the Lord Might Be

“Perhaps He went to the Guṇḍicā temple, or to Lake Narendra, or to the Caṭaka-parvata. Maybe He went to the temple at Koṇārka.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 18.36, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The devotees thought He might have gone to the Guṇḍicā temple or Lake Narendra.
  • They also considered Caṭaka-parvata and the temple at Koṇārka.
  • The words “perhaps” and “maybe” show their uncertainty as they considered where to search.
