তাঁরে কৈলি জড়-নশ্বর-প্রাকৃত-কায়!! ॥ ১১৮ ॥

“Lord Jagannātha is completely spiritual and full of transcendental bliss, but you have compared Him to a dull, destructible body composed of the inert, external energy of the Lord.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Lord Jagannātha is completely spiritual and full of transcendental bliss. To regard His Deity form as merely wood or stone is an offense.
A pure devotee makes no distinction between Lord Jagannātha and His body. He is not a soul within a material body like an ordinary human being.
Devotional service purifies the eyes so that one can perceive Lord Jagannātha’s form as completely spiritual. There is actually no difference between Lord Jagannātha and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Humility and discernment. The Lord directs a seeker to Rāmānanda and clarifies genuine spiritual qualification.

A brāhmaṇa from Bengal composed a drama about the activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and went to Jagannātha Purī to show it to the associates of the Lord. When Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s secretary, Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī, heard the drama, he discerned a tinge of Māyāvāda philosophy and pointed it out to the author.Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 5
