প্রভুর অতর্ক্যলীলা বুঝিতে না পারি স্বসংগ ছাডাঞা কেনে পাঠায কাশীপুরী

प्रभुर अतर्क्यलीला बुझिते ना पारि स्वसंग छाडाञा केने पाठाय काशीपुरी

prabhura atarkya-līlā bujhite nā pāri sva-saṅga chāḍāñā kene pāṭhāya kāśīpurī

Translation

I cannot understand the inconceivable pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, for although Tapana Miśra wanted to live with Him in Navadvīpa, the Lord advised him to go to Vārāṇasī.

Purport

When Tapana Miśra met Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Lord Caitanya was living in household life, and there was no indication that in the future He would accept the sannyāsa order. But by asking Tapana Miśra to go to Vārāṇasī He indicated that in the future He would accept sannyāsa and that when He would teach Sanātana Gosvāmī, Tapana Miśra would take advantage of the opportunity to learn the object of life and the real process of attaining it.
