PURPORT

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura points out that in the seventy-fourth verse of this chapter it is stated that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited the temple of Siyali-bhairavi, but actually at Siyali, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited the temple of Sri Bhu-varaha.

Near Siyali and Cidambaram there is a temple known as Sri Musnam.

In this temple there is a Deity of Sri Bhu-varaha.

In the jurisdiction of Cidambaram there is a district known as southern Arcot.

The town of Siyali is in that district.

There is a temple of Sri Bhu-varahadeva nearby, not Bhairavi-devi.

This is Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura’s conclusion.
