“O Pärvaté, in blissful Våndävana, Rädhä stays by the left side of Kåñëa and always pleases Him. Similarly, in Navadvépa Kåñëa takes Rädhäräëé in His heart and bestows bliss upon Her. Just as in Våndävana the sakhés headed by Lalitä serve Rädhä and Kåñëa in their own forms, in Navadvépa also the sakhés always joyfully serve Gaurahari as His devotees. Rädhä and Kåñëa are Gaura, and Våndävana is Navadvépa. That low person who differentiates between Våndävana and Navadvépa or between Rädhä‑Kåñëa and Gauräìga will be pierced by my arrows and experience pain in the worst hells until the time of the universal devastation. “O Pärvaté, I have described to you the reason for the appearance of Navadvépa. When heard by mankind, this narration removes all sins and bestows devotional service. Whoever rises early in the morning and with devotion to Gaura recites or hears this story of Navadvépa’s creation will certainly attain Gauräìga. “Even now the devotees, but not the faithless, can see the sat‑cid‑änanda form of Lord Gauräìga in Navadvépa. Previously, in the räsa dance at Våndävana, I saw Kåñëa, the Lord of the räsa dance and attractor of Cupid, appear as Gauräìga. That same Lord, Kåñëa Caitanya, appears in Navadvépa in every kalpa and gives pure devotional service to the living entities. “O Pärvaté, these secret topics that I have told you should never be revealed to the foolish nondevotees. Give it to the pure‑minded devotee. Please tell me now, what else do you wish to hear?” Thus ends the Fourth Chapter of the Second part of the Çré Caitanya Janma‑khaëòa of the Ananta‑saàhitä. In the Ürddhvämnäya‑saàhitä , the Lord says, “O Brahmä, during the reign of Vaivasvata Manu, I will take a golden form on the bank of the Ganges and, giving out the name of Hari, I will deliver hundreds and thousands of brähmaëas , kñatriyas , vaiçyas , candalas , and other low class men. I will go to Kaïcana‑gräma 1 and take sannyäsa .” Thus ends the Second Chapter of the Navadvépa‑dhäma‑mähätmya, Pramäëa‑khaëòa.
1. Kaïcana‑gräma is an old name of Katwa, where Lord Caitanya went to take sannyäsa .
