In an instant, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu regained external consciousness and saw two persons before Him.

Questioning them, He asked, "Am I conscious? What dreams have I been seeing? What craziness have I spoken? Have you heard some expressions of humility?’’

PURPORT

When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu thus spoke in ecstasy, He saw two persons before Him.

One was His secretary, Svarupa Damodara, and the other was Raya Ramananda.

Coming to His external consciousness, He saw them both present, and although He was still talking in the ecstasy of Srimati Radharani, He immediately began to question whether He was the same Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
