Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 1.32
আর দিন কেহ তার দেখা না পাইলা ।
সিদ্ধ-দেহ পাঞা কুক্কুর বৈকুণ্ঠেতে গেলা ॥ ৩২ ॥
āra dina keha tāra dekhā nā pāilā
siddha-deha pāñā kukkura vaikuṇṭhete gelā
The next day, no one saw that dog, for it had obtained its spiritual body and departed for Vaikuṇṭha, the spiritual kingdom.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The dog obtained its spiritual body and departed for Vaikuṇṭha, the spiritual kingdom. The purport identifies this as the result of sādhu-saṅga, association with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and the mercy of the Vaiṣṇava.
Everyone in human life should be encouraged to associate with devotees. By rendering a little service, even by eating prasādam, what to speak of chanting and dancing, everyone can be promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka.
The purport asks devotees in the ISKCON community to become pure Vaiṣṇavas and give everyone a chance to take prasādam, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and dance in ecstasy. Even without knowledge or education, an animal went back to Godhead through these processes.
