PURPORT

Herein it is stated that the Lord delivered the Gajendra, the elephant, who was being attacked by crocodiles. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited southern India, almost all the residents were under the claws of crocodiles presenting Buddhist, Jaina and Mayavada philosophy. Although Kaviraja Gosvami states that these people were as strong as elephants, they were actually under the clutches of death because they were being attacked by the crocodiles of various philosophies. However, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saved the elephant from the clutches of the crocodiles by His mercy.
