haridāsa ṭhākurere karila prasāda
ācārya-sthāne mātāra khaṇḍāila aparādha

Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
On the mahā-prakāśa day, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu embraced Haridāsa Ṭhākura and revealed that he was an incarnation of Prahlāda Mahārāja.
Śacīmātā thought Advaita Ācārya had persuaded Viśvarūpa to take sannyāsa. Her accusation against Him was an offense at His lotus feet.
Lord Caitanya induced His mother to take the dust of Advaita Ācārya’s lotus feet. In this way her vaiṣṇava-aparādha, or offense against a devotee, was nullified.
