PURPORT
After the mass nagara-sankirtana in protest against the magistrate Chand Kazi, the Kazi was converted to a devotee.
Then Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu returned with His sankirtana party to the house of Sridhara, and Chand Kazi followed Him.
All the devotees rested there for some time and drank water from Sridhara’s damaged iron pot.
The Lord accepted the water because the pot belonged to a devotee.
Chand Kazi then returned home.
