The next morning the poet came to Lord Caitanya and surrendered unto His lotus feet. The Lord bestowed His mercy upon him and cut off all his bondage to material attachment.
The same process advocated by Lord ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa in His teachings of the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ as it is — “Surrender unto Me in all instances†— was advocated by Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu. The champion surrendered unto the Lord, and the Lord favored him. One who is favored by the Lord is freed from material bondage, as stated in the Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (4.9): tyaktvÄ dehaá¹ punar janma naiti mÄm eti so ’rjuna.
