Translation

One day shortly after Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu was born, Advaita Ācārya's wife Sītādevī, who is worshipable by the whole world, taking permission of her husband, went to see that topmost child with all kinds of gifts and presentations.

Purport

It appears that Advaita Ācārya had two different houses, one at Śāntipura and one at Navadvīpa. When Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu was born, Advaita Ācārya was residing not at His Navadvīpa house but at His Śāntipura house. Therefore, as formerly explained, "nijālaya," from Advaita's old paternal house in Śāntipura, Sītā came to Navadvīpa to present gifts to the newly born child, Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
