Cc Ādi 7.52

ইহা শুনি রহে প্রভু ঈষত্হৈযা সেই কালে এক বিপ্র মিলিল আসিযা

इहा शुनि रहे प्रभु ईषत्हैया सेइ काले एक विप्र मिलिल आसिया

ihā śuni rahe prabhu īṣat ha-iyā sei kāle eka vipra milila āsiyā

Translation

While Tapana Miśra and Candraśekhara were thus talking with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He only smiled slightly and remained silent. At that time a brāhmaṇa came there to meet the Lord.

Purport

Because the blasphemy was cast against Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself, He did not feel sorry, and therefore He was smiling. This is ideal Vaiṣṇava behavior. One should not become angry upon hearing criticism of himself, but if other Vaiṣṇavas are criticized one must be prepared to act as previously suggested. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was very compassionate for His pure devotees Tapana Miśra and Candraśekhara; therefore by His grace this brāhmaṇa immediately came to Him. By His omnipotency the Lord created this situation for the happiness of His devotees.
