English translation:

(21-024) As the Lord entered the house of Murāri, He called out, “Boar, Boar.” Murāri Gupta was astounded and looked all around. Viśvambhara then entered the Viṣṇu temple, wherein He saw a beautiful waterpot with a spout. The Lord immediately assumed the form of Varāha and by His own sweet will picked up the waterpot with His teeth. In His form as Varāha, the supreme enjoyer of all sacrifices grunted and manifested four hoofs. Then the Lord ordered, “Murāri, offer prayers to Me!”

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Gaurahari suddenly rushed towards Murāri’s house, where He entered the Viṣṇu temple while calling out, “Boar, Boar.” On hearing the sudden roaring and the words “Sūkara, Sūkara,” from Gaurasundara, Murāri could not understand what was happening. When the Lord saw a large waterpot within the Viṣṇu temple, He picked it up with His teeth. At that time Murāri saw the Lord roaring in His form as a four-legged boar, the enjoyer of all sacrifices. Varāhadeva is an incarnation of Lord Viṣṇu. So for Lord Gaurasundara to display the form of His Varāha incarnation to His appropriate devotee was proper. A Māyāvādī should not misunderstand from this that when a conditioned soul is freed from ignorance he is able to exhibit such moods of the Supreme Lord in imitation of the Lord. To disrespect those deceitful hellish persons who are cheated in this way by considering themselves Viṣṇu, the Lord personally exhibited these pastimes for their bewilderment. The eternally averse atheists fall into illusion by imitating the Lord’s activities without understanding the Lord’s characteristics. Thus they bring havoc into this world by arranging for some duplicitous people to honor them in such a

way that the painful conditions of hellish life, which are suitable rewards for such envious people, await them with miseries for unlimited years to come. The covered incarnation, Śrī Gaurasundara, kept His own identity secret, even from His own devotees. If an abominable conditioned soul who is eligible for suffering unlimited years of hellish life and who daily undergoes three conditions of life considers the Supreme Lord to be a living entity like himself and makes special endeavors to be honored by his cheated followers, then such a cheater and the cheated lose their qualification to be called human beings and, due to the absence of four- legs like a stool-eating boar, become two-legged animals. Such two- legged animals can never exhibit four legs. In some future life, however, they will become four-legged, stool-eating animals. Śrī Caitanyadeva exhibited the four legs of His Varāha incarnation, and if an insignificant living entity tries to imitate His pastimes, it is simply ludicrous.
