ÅšrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura gives the following summary of the fourteenth chapter. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s feelings of separation from Kṛṣṇa resulted in highly elevated transcendental madness. When He was standing near the Garuá¸a-stambha and praying to Lord JagannÄtha, a woman from Orissa put her foot on the Lord’s shoulder in her great eagerness to see Lord JagannÄtha. Govinda chastised her for this, but Caitanya MahÄprabhu praised her eagerness. When Caitanya MahÄprabhu went to the temple of Lord JagannÄtha, He was absorbed in ecstatic love and saw only Kṛṣṇa. As soon as He perceived this woman, however, His external consciousness immediately returned, and He saw JagannÄtha, Baladeva and SubhadrÄ. Caitanya MahÄprabhu also saw Kṛṣṇa in a dream, and He was overwhelmed with ecstatic love. When He could no longer see Kṛṣṇa, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu compared Himself to a yogÄ« and described how that yogÄ« was seeing Vá¹›ndÄvana. Sometimes all the transcendental ecstatic symptoms were manifest in Him. One night, Govinda and SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara noticed that although the three doors to the Lord’s room were closed and locked, the Lord was not present inside. Seeing this, SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara and the other devotees went outside and saw the Lord lying unconscious by the gate known as Siá¹ha-dvÄra. His body had become unusually long, and the joints of His bones were loose. The devotees gradually brought ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu back to His senses by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, and then they took Him back to His residence. Once ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu mistook a sand dune known as Caá¹aka-parvata for Govardhana Hill. As He ran toward it, He became stunned, and then the eight ecstatic transformations appeared in His body due to great love for Kṛṣṇa. At that time all the devotees chanted the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra to pacify Him.
