     The Lord became jubilant when He heard the physician Muräri Gupta's prayers glorifying Lord Räma, and He assumed the form of Lord Räma in the presence of His devotee.  Lord Caitanya mercifully freed the devotee Mukunda from the bad association of the non-devotees. I meditate on that Lord Caitanya, the best of those who distribute the nectarean mellows of pure devotional service.

In this way the Lord became supremely worshippable by the best of learned scholars in this world.  I meditate upon that Lord Caitanya, Who held a sannyäsé daëòa, His head shaved as a sign of renunciation.

I meditate on that Lord Gauräìga, Who has assumed the form of a devotee, and become thus absorbed in His own devotional service.
