SYNONYMS
sabe mili’-meeting all together; yukti kari’-after due consideration; kirtana—congregational chanting of the holy name; arambhila—began; kirtana-avese—in the ecstasy of kirtana; prabhura—of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu; mana—the mind; sthira—pacified; haila—became.
After due consideration, all the devotees began chanting the holy name congregationally.
Lord Caitanya’s mind was thus pacified by the ecstasy of the chanting.
PURPORT
Being absolute, Lord Jagannatha is identical in person, form, picture, kirtana and all other circumstances.
Therefore when Caitanya Mahaprabhu heard the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, He was pacified.
Previously, He had been feeling very morose due to separation from Jagannatha.
The conclusion is that whenever a kirtana of pure devotees takes place, the Lord is immediately present.
By chanting the holy names of the Lord, we associate with the Lord personally.
