Jayapataka Swami: What do you think? His son had died. His family members were lamenting the death of their son, and then by the mercy of Lord Caitanya, Śrīvāsa’s son, the dead body of Śrīvāsa’s son, started to speak and gave this explanation of reincarnation -how the Lord is ultimately the shelter of everyone. So naturally, Śrīvāsa said, we are so grateful to the Lord,also overwhelmed by the understanding of the glories of Kṛṣṇa, there would be more feelings of Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura. I don’t say that I can say all of his feelings,but I can appreciate that they are in a very loving mood towards Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu,and therefore they grabbed His feet and were crying. I mean, this pastime Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, he wrote a whole poem, and he said that he is giving up his life, so amazing the pastimes of the Lord Gaurāṅga. So, he was falling at the feet of Śrīvāsa. Śrīvāsa and his family, they fell at the feet of Lord Gaurāṅga. You meditate on that, what was the feeling they had? and then you will start crying like they did.
