The Lord Relieves the Bhaṭṭācārya’s Blame

“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “What Amogha has said is correct; therefore it is not blasphemy. What is your offense?””

  • He therefore did not regard Amogha’s words as blasphemy.
  • By asking, “What is your offense?” He questioned the Bhaṭṭācārya’s reason for blaming himself.
