SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹á¹ÄcÄrya first introduced JanÄrdana, saying, “Here is JanÄrdana, servant of Lord JagannÄtha. He renders service to the Lord when it is time to renovate His transcendental body.â€
During Anavasara, after the SnÄna-yÄtrÄ ceremony, Lord JagannÄtha is absent from the temple for fifteen days so He can be renovated. This occurs annually. JanÄrdana, who is here being introduced to ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, was rendering this service at the time. The renovation of Lord JagannÄtha is also known as Nava-yauvana, which indicates that the JagannÄtha Deity is being fully restored to youth.
