“A similar punishment was awarded to mother ÅšacÄ«devÄ«. Who could be more fortunate than she to receive such punishment?â€

Purport

Mother ÅšacÄ«devÄ« was similarly punished, as mentioned in the Caitanya-bhÄgavata, Madhya-khaṇá¸a, chapter twenty-two. Mother ÅšacÄ«devÄ«, apparently showing her feminine nature, accused Advaita Prabhu of encouraging her son to become a sannyÄsÄ«. Caitanya MahÄprabhu, taking this accusation as an offense, asked ÅšacÄ«devÄ« to touch the lotus feet of Advaita Ä€cÄrya to mitigate the offense she had supposedly committed.
