An attractive young girl was selected from among the prostitutes.
She promised to attract the mind of Haridāsa Ṭhākura within three days.

From Śrīla Prabhupāda's chapter summary, the lines nearest this verse:
A beautiful young brāhmaṇa girl in Jagannātha Purī had a very handsome son who was coming every day to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. This was not very much to the liking of Dāmodara Paṇḍita, however, who therefore told Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, “If You display so much love for this boy, people will doubt Your character.”Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 3
