A recorded spiritual discourse (May 31, 2023, Dallas, US) by Jaya Pataka Swami and accompanying speakers that reads and comments on Antya-lila Chapter 17 of the Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita. The chapter—"Lord Caitanya is seen lying unconscious amongst the cows"—is quoted and explained: speakers narrate how Caitanya Mahaprabhu entered ecstatic madness (mahabhava), assumed the mood of Radharani, left his locked room, went to the cowshed near Simhadwara (Jagannath Puri), and lay unconscious among cows while manifesting extreme symptoms (tortoise-like retraction of limbs, foaming, tears). The cows themselves are said to have sniffed and licked his transcendental body; devotees recovered him and carried him home. The talk interleaves verse citations, translations, and devotional interpretation and closes with devotional salutations and channel calls-to-action.

Personal servant Govinda lay down at the door of his room and the Lord very loudly chanted the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra all night.
Samad Chaitanya the associating with Krishna after the night.
So since the Lord and the Holy Name are non different then Lord Caitanya Mahprabhu would be associating with the Lord all night.

Sri Caitana charitamrita Anjalila chapter 17 text 11 all three doors were fastened as usual but R. Caitanya Mahprabhu in great ecstasy nevertheless got out of the room and left the house.
Although the room was locked and ordinary person was impossible to leave.
Although the room was locked and for an ordinary person it would be impossible to leave.
Somehow another was sitting locked a room.
Somehow or other Lord Caitanya left the room and went out to find Krishna.
R. Chaitana Charitamritaanjalila Chapter 17 Text 12 he went to a cowshed on the southern side of the Simhadwara. There the Lord fell down unconscious among cows from the district of Tai Langa.
The main entrance to the Jagannath Puri.
Temple the Shingha Dwara is the main entrance to the Jagannath Puri temple facing the eastern side facing the eastern side.
And the Lord went into the coal run and fell unconscious with the cows.
So the Lord he went into the.
Cow barn with the cows and fell unconscious with the cows.

So the doors of Lord Caitanya's room were locked.
Somehow Lord Chaitanya he left Somehow Lord.

Child when he told Vasudeva takes him to Vrindava.
So just as like when he was a child he told Vasudeva to take him to Vrindavan and.
Down while you.
Solar and he went and lay him down and lay him down by your shoulder.
So the doors automatically open and thus.

Similarly, when rob sit on the run to leave another would stop him.
So similarly when Lord Caitanya wanted to leave, there is nothing that could stop him. There are no doors that could stop him.
Chapter 17, text 14 then Swarup Damodar Goswami lit a torch and went out with all the devotees to search for r. Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Krishna is not for his love of the cows.
Krishna is known for his love of the cows.
Rather, his name is Goraksha and he.
Protects the cows and part of his name is known as Goraksha that he protects the cows.
He lived in the Govindan hill and he gave protection to all the cows and villagers of the mountains.
As Govinda he lifted the Govardhan hill and gave protection to all the cows and villages. Villagers of Vrindavan.
Here in Jagannathuri he somehow was in the Kashat unconscious.

Chapter 17, text 18. All the cows around the Lord were sniffing his transcendental body. When the devotees tried to check them, they refused to give up their association with the transcendental body of R. Caitanya Mahprabhu.
In the cows. By sniffing and licking.
Even the cows, by sniffing and licking the body of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they were experiencing ecstasy. They were experiencing ecstasy and they didn't want to give up the association of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Chapter 17, text 19. The devotees tried to rouse the Lord by various means, but his consciousness did not return. Therefore, they all lifted him and brought him back home.
So the devotees of Lord Chachanna are doing this personal continental service.
So the devotees of Lord Chaitanya were doing this confidential personal service.
In this state of extreme transcendental bliss.
And Lord Gauranga, he was in this state of extreme transcendental bliss. It could not be aroused.
