Verse 11 of 95
Cc Madhya 2.11

কাহাঙ্নাহি শুনি যেই ভাবের বিকার সেই ভাব হয প্রভুর শরীরে প্রচার

काहाङ्नाहि शुनि येइ भावेर विकार सेइ भाव हय प्रभुर शरीरे प्रचार

kāhāṅ nāhi śuni yei bhāvera vikāra sei bhāva haya prabhura śarīre pracāra

Synonyms

kāhāṅanywhere; nāhinot; śuniwe hear; yeithat; bhāveraof ecstasy; vikāratransformation; seithat; bhāvaecstasy; hayais; prabhuraof the Lord; śarīrein the body; pracāramanifest..

Translation

The extraordinary transformations of the body due to transcendental feelings would never have been possible for anyone but the Lord, in whose body all transformations were manifest.

Purport

The ecstatic transformations of the body as described in such exalted literatures as Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu are practically not seen in this material world. However, these symptoms were perfectly present in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. These symptoms are indicative of mahābhāva, or the highest ecstasy. Sometimes sahajiyās artificially imitate these symptoms, but experienced devotees reject them immediately. The author admits herein that these symptoms are not to be found anywhere but in the body of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
