Ordinary Signs Do Not Prove Faults
“Ants generally crawl about here, there and everywhere, but Rāmacandra Purī, imagining faults, criticized Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu by alleging that there had been sweetmeats in His room.”
What the purport teaches
- Ants generally crawl here, there and everywhere.
- Rāmacandra Purī nevertheless alleged that sweetmeats had been in Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s room.
- The verse explicitly describes him as imagining faults. His criticism rested on an allegation, not an established fact.
