Jayapatākā Swami: The place of cooking the offerings for Lord Viṣṇu, is never contaminated. In fact, the clay cooking pots, which are used to cook and offer the food stuffs to Lord Viṣṇu, purify the things that they touch (02:10)

Jayapatākā Swami: The places where I take my residence or where I am present are never contaminated. Rather they purify the places that they touch. The Vedas explain how things are purified by the touch of the Lord, by the Lord’s devotee, by the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, by the Lord’s prasāda, by the Lord’s caraṇāmṛta bathing water.

Caitanya-Bhāgavata Ādi7.180

prakārāntare nija advaya-jñāna-tattva-varṇana-sattveo prabhu-māyāmugdha sakalerai tadanupalabdhi —
bālya-bhāve sarva-tattva kahi’ prabhu hāse
tathāpi nā bujhe keha tā’na māyā-vaśe

Purport by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura: Sarva-tattva, —advaya-jñāna tattva.

Jayapatākā Swami: The Lord in His form as a child, spoke these essential truths, with a smiling face and by the influence of His spiritual potency, no one could realize that this is the Lord speaking and they just thought a cute child is speaking.

Caitanya-Bhāgavata Ādi7.181

nimāira vākyake pralāpa jñāne sakalera hāsya, snānārtha tāṅhāke śacīra ādeśa —
sabei hāsena śuni’ śiśura vacana
‘snāna āsi’ kara’—śacī bolena takhana

Jayapatākā Swami: Everyone present was laughing and smiling to hear the teachings from a child’s mouth. At this time Śacīmātā told her son, extending her hand-come and take your bath in the Ganges.

Caitanya-Bhāgavata Ādi7.182

nimāira sthāna-tyāge anicchā, miśrake tad-jñāpana-pūrvaka tatkartṛka prahāra bhaya-pradarśana—

nā āisena prabhu seikhāne vasi’ āche
śacī bole,—“jhāṭa āya, bāpa jāne pāche”

Jayapatākā Swami: But the Lord did not come. He stayed sitting on the pots. Come quickly, your father will come behind us and before your father learns about this.

Caitanya-Bhāgavata Ādi7.183

adhyayane pitāmātāra anumati pradāna binā aśuci sthāna-tyāge nimāira asammati-jñāpana —
prabhu bole,—“yadi more nā deha’ paḍite
tabe muñi nāhi yāṅa,—kahiluṅ tomāte”

Translation: The Lord replied, “I tell you, if you don’t allow Me to study, then I won’t leave this place.”
