ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA<br />
“Your offense is much graver, because you made Nityänanda<br />
bleed,” the Lord said. “Actually, Nityänanda is far greater than I.<br />
I declare this to be the truth.”<br />
“O Lord, if You have indeed told me the truth, then please<br />
tell me how I can be saved? You are the crest jewel among physicians<br />
expert in curing all diseases. Only if You cure me will<br />
my disease be removed. O Lord of the universe, please do not<br />
cheat me. Now I know who You are, and so please give up Your<br />
pretenses.”<br />
“You committed a grave offense at the feet of Nityänanda,”<br />
The Lord said. “Now you must fall at His lotus feet and beg for<br />
His pardon.”<br />
Thus ordered by the Lord, Mädhäi went and caught hold of<br />
the invaluable wealth that is Lord Nityänanda’s lotus feet, the<br />
wealth that is the property of Revaté. Viçvambhara said to Nityänanda<br />
Prabhu, “Listen, Nityänanda. It is proper that if someone<br />
falls at Your lotus feet, You should be merciful to him. Because<br />
Mädhäi made You bleed, only You can forgive him. Now<br />
he has surrendered unto You.”<br />
“O Lord, what can I say?” Nityänanda replied. “You can bestow<br />
mercy to anyone, even a tree. If I have any piety amassed<br />
from previous births, I will give it all to Mädhäi. I am telling You<br />
the truth. I do not care for the offenses he has committed. O<br />
Lord, please remove Your illusory energy and be merciful. This<br />
Mädhäi belongs to You.”<br />
“If You have indeed forgiven all his offenses, then please<br />
embrace him so his life will be successful.” Viçvambhara said.<br />
As instructed by the Lord, Nityänanda Prabhu tightly embraced<br />
Mädhäi so that his material bondage and mass of sins<br />
were at once destroyed. Nityänanda Prabhu entered the body of<br />
Mädhäi so that he became fully empowered with all the energies<br />
of the Lord. In this way, both Jagäi and Mädhäi were delivered.<br />
They then offered prayers at the lotus feet of Çré Caitanya and<br />
Nityänanda Prabhu.<br />
Çré Gauräìga Mahäprabhu then commanded them, “Sin no<br />
more.”<br />
“Dear father, no more, not again,” Jagäi and Mädhäi<br />
replied.<br />
