Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 5.94

Praise Leads to a Further Wish

“All the Vaiṣṇavas praised the drama, saying, “Very good, very good.” They also desired that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu hear the drama.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 5.94, translation

What the purport teaches

  • All the Vaiṣṇavas praised the drama, saying, “Very good, very good.”
  • They wanted Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to hear it as well.
  • Their praise did not replace the customary review by Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī before the Lord could hear it.
