Returning Brought Another Opportunity to Hear

“The prostitute returned to Rāmacandra Khān and informed him of what had happened. The next day she came earlier, at the beginning of the evening, and stayed with Haridāsa Ṭhākura.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 3.127, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The prostitute returned to Rāmacandra Khān and told him what had happened.
  • The next day she came earlier, at the beginning of the evening, and stayed with Haridāsa Ṭhākura.
  • Her return brought another opportunity to hear his chanting. In the surrounding verses, this hearing becomes the means of her purification.
