Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 9.96

Offer Everything at the Lord's Lotus Feet

“I do not care about this small sum of 200,000 kāhanas. What to speak of this, I would indeed sacrifice everything at the lotus feet of the Lord, including my life and kingdom.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 9.96, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The King regards 200,000 kāhanas as a small sum that does not concern him.
  • His willingness to sacrifice goes far beyond giving up that money.
  • He declares that he would offer everything at the Lord's lotus feet, including his life and kingdom.
