TRANSLATION
However, just to warn His personal associates, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, externally expressed feelings of anger.
PURPORT
When Maharaja Prataparudra asked to see the Lord, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu immediately refused, saying:
niskincanasya bhagavad-bhajanonmukhasya
param param jigamisor bhava-sagarasya sandarsanam visayinam atha yositam ca ha hanta hanta visa-bhaksanato 'py asadhu The word niskincanasya refers to a person who has finished his material activities. Such a person can begin to execute his activities in Krsna consciousness to cross over the ocean of nescience. It is very dangerous for such a person to have intimate relationships with mundane people or to become intimately related with women. This formality is to be observed by anyone who is serious about going back home, back to Godhead. To teach His personal associates these principles, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu expressed external anger when touched by the King. Since the Lord was very satisfied with the humble behavior of the King, He intentionally allowed the King to touch Him, but externally He expressed anger just to warn His personal associates.
