Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Ādi 17.71

haridāsa ṭhākurere karila prasāda

ācārya-sthāne mātāra khaṇḍāila aparādha

SYNONYMS

haridāsa ṭhākurere — unto Haridāsa Ṭhākura; karila — did; prasāda — benediction; ācārya-sthānein the home of Advaita Ācārya; mātāra — of Śacīmātā; khaṇḍāila — vanquished; aparādha — the offense.

TRANSLATION

After this incident the Lord blessed Haridāsa Ṭhākura and vanquished the offense of His mother at the home of Advaita Ācārya.

PURPORT

On the mahā-prakāśa day, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu embraced Haridāsa Ṭhākura and informed him that he was none other than an incarnation of Prahlāda Mahārāja. When Viśvarūpa took sannyāsa, Śacīmātā thought that Advaita Ācārya had persuaded Him to do so. Therefore she accused Advaita Ācārya of this, which was an offense at His lotus feet. Later Lord Caitanya induced His mother to take the dust of Advaita Ācārya's lotus feet, and thus her vaiṣṇava-aparādha was nullified.
