PURPORT
One night Sacidevi dreamt that the Deities in her house, Krsna and Balarama, had taken the forms of Caitanya and Nityananda and were fighting one another, as children do, to eat the naivedya, or offering to the Deities.
On the next day, by the will of Lord Caitanya, Sacidevi invited Nityananda to take prasada at her house.
Thus Visvambhara (Lord Caitanya) and Nityananda were eating together, and Sacidevi realized that They were none other than Krsna and Balarama.
Seeing this, she fainted.
Jagai and Madhai were two brothers born in Navadvipa in a respectable brahmana family who later became addicted to all kinds of sinful activities.
By the order of Lord Caitanya, both Nityananda Prabhu and Haridasa Thakura used to preach the cult of Krsna consciousness door to door.
In the course of such preaching they found Jagai and Madhai, two maddened drunken brothers, who, upon seeing them, began to chase them.
On the next day, Madhai struck Nityananda Prabhu on the head with a piece of earthen pot, thus drawing blood.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu heard of this, He immediately came to the spot, ready to punish both brothers, but when the all-merciful Lord Gauranga saw Jagai’s repentant behavior, He immediately embraced him.
By seeing the Supreme Personality of Godhead face to face and embracing Him, both the sinful brothers were at once cleansed.
Thus they received initiation into the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra from the Lord and were delivered.
