An Assumption Prompts an Urgent Search

“Raghunātha dāsa has fled with them. Ten men should immediately go catch him and bring him back.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.179, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Raghunātha dāsa’s father believed that his son had fled with the devotees.
  • He ordered ten men to go immediately, catch Raghunātha dāsa, and bring him back.
  • The later reply from Śivānanda Sena shows that Raghunātha dāsa had not joined that group.
