After that, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu delivered the celebrated Saptatala tree, took His bath at Setubandha Ramesvara and visited the temple of Lord Siva known as Ramesvara.

PURPORT

It is said that the Saptatala tree is a very old, massive palm tree. There was once a fight between Bali and his brother Sugriva, and Lord Ramacandra took the side of Sugriva and killed Bali, keeping Himself behind this celebrated tree. When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu toured south India, He embraced this tree, which was delivered and directly promoted to Vaikuntha.
