Sri Caitanya Caritamrita. Adi-lila

Chapter 16: The Pastimes of the Lord in His Childhood and Youth. Text 65

'brÄhmaṇa-patnÄ«ra bhartÄra haste deha dÄna'
Å›abda Å›unitei haya dvitÄ«ya-bhartÄ jñÄna

 brÄhmaṇa-patnÄ«ra - of the wife of a brÄhmaṇa; bhartÄra - of the husband; haste - in the hand; deha - give; dÄna - charity; Å›abda - these words; Å›unitei - hearing; haya - there is; dvitÄ«ya-bhartÄ - another husband; jñÄna - knowledge.


Text

“If someone says, ‘Place this charity in the hand of the husband of the wife of the brÄhmaṇa,’ when we hear these contradictory words we immediately understand that the brÄhmaṇa’s wife has another husband.
