sei kathÄ - that incident; sabÄra madhye - among all of them; kahe - relates; nityÄnanda - Lord NityÄnanda Prabhu; Å›uniyÄ - hearing; vaiṣṇava-mane - in the minds of all the Vaiṣṇavas; bÄá¸ila - increased; Änanda - the transcendental bliss.
This same narration was again related by Lord NityÄnanda to all the devotees, and their transcendental bliss increased as they heard the story again.
The words mahÄprabhura mukhe, “from the mouth of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu,†are significant because ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu first heard the story of MÄdhavendra PurÄ« from His spiritual master, ÅšrÄ«pÄda Īśvara PurÄ«. (See Madhya-lÄ«lÄ, chapter four, verse 18.) After staying at ÅšrÄ« Advaita’s house in ÅšÄntipura for some time, the Lord narrated the story of MÄdhavendra PurÄ« to NityÄnanda Prabhu, JagadÄnanda Prabhu, DÄmodara Paṇá¸ita and Mukunda dÄsa. When they went to RemuṇÄ, to the temple of GopÄ«nÄtha, He described MÄdhavendra Purī’s installation of the GopÄla Deity as well as GopÄ«nÄtha’s stealing condensed milk. Due to this incident, Lord GopÄ«nÄtha became well known as KṣīracorÄ, the thief who stole condensed milk.
