Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu bathed in the twenty-four ghats along the Yamunā, and the brāhmaṇa showed Him the places of pilgrimage.
Ghats are bathing places. The purport names twenty-four along the Yamunā.
These include Avimukta, Dhruva-ghāṭa, Kṛṣṇa-gaṅgā, Akrūra-tīrtha and Daśāśvamedha.
Wonder and contagious joy. Even forest animals chant; nature seems drawn into the saṅkīrtana movement.
