TEXT 97

tore nimantraṇa kari' pāinu tāra phala
tora jāti-kula nāhi, sahaje pāgala


SYNONYMS

tore—You; nimantraṇa—invitation; kari'-making; pāinu—I have gotten in return; tāra—of that; phala—the result; tora—Your; jāti-kula nāhi—there is no indication of Your caste and family; sahaje—by nature; pāgala—You are a madman.


TRANSLATION

Advaita Ācārya jokingly said, "My dear Nityānanda, I invited You, and indeed I have received the results. You have no fixed caste or dynasty. By nature You are a madman.


PURPORT

The words sahaje pāgala ("by nature a madman") indicate that Nityānanda Prabhu was transcendentally situated on the paramahaṁsa stage. Because He always remembered Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa and Their service, this was transcendental madness. Śrī Advaita Ācārya was pointing out this fact.
