He possessed all the opulences of a royal position, but he gave up everything just to accept the youthful goddess of renunciation. Although he externally appeared to be a mendicant who had renounced everything, he was filled with the pleasure of devotional service within his heart. Thus he can be compared to a deep lake covered with moss. He was the object of pleasure for all the devotees who knew the science of devotional service. PURPORT This and the following two verses are from Caitanya-candrodaya-nataka (9.34, 35, 38). >>> Ref. VedaBase => Madhya 24.348 Why is here renunciation called the youthful goddess?
