Aithe car festivalof Lond Jagamnātha approached, Shī Caltanya Mahapralhu ealled for thrce men: Kasi Miśra, Sārvabhauma Bhattācārya, and the superintendent of the temple. When
these three came before the Lord, He begged them to wash the temple known as Guṇḍicā, which lies two miles northeast of the Jagannātha temple. As soon as the superintendent understood the Lord's desire, he delivered a hundred new waterpots and a hundred brooms for sweeping the temple.
The next day, early in the morning, the Lord took His personal associates with Him and with His own hands smeared sandalwood pulp on their bodies. He then gave each devotee a broom and went with them to Guṇḍicā.
At first they cleansed the temple with the brooms. The Lord cleansed everything inside the temple very nicely, including the ceiling. He then took up the sitting place, cleansed it, and again put it in its original place. Thus the Lord and His companions cleansed and swept all the temple's buildings, big and small, and finally cleansed the area between the temple and the meeting place. Hundreds of devotees cleansed all around the temple, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu also cleansed, just to instruct others.
Lord Caitanya washed and cleansed the temple in great jubilation, chanting the holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa incessantly. Similarly, all the devotees were also chanting and simultaneously performing their respective duties. The entire body of the Lord was soon covered with dust and dirt, and thus He became even more transcendentally beautiful. At times, when cleansing the temple, the Lord shed tears, and in some places He even cleansed with those tears.
After the main temple room and adjoining rooms had been cleansed, the minds of the devotees were as clean as the rooms. When the temple was cleansed, it was purified, cool and pleasing, just as if the Lord's own pure mind had appeared
