Sanātana Had Not Noticed His Blisters

“Sanātana Gosvāmī replied, “I did not feel much pain, nor did I know that there were blisters because of the heat.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 4.125, translation

  • Sanātana Gosvāmī said that he had not felt much pain.
  • He had not known that the hot sand had caused blisters.
  • His reply contrasts with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s concern about the condition of his feet.
