At least, after Caitanya Mahāprabhu's getting on their shoulders, (laughs) they must have been liberated.


Lord Caitanya Play Told to Tamala Krsna -- August 4, 1969, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: And another incident is that when He was just walking . . . so it is the system that small children, they are decorated with ornaments here, here, bangle, so many ornaments, here. So one thief saw that . . . he stole away the child. So he was seeking some secret place, lonely place, so that he can rob out.

In this way seeking, seeking, he traveled, and at last he came just in front of the house, and he dropped the child, that "Somebody may see that I have taken this child. Then I'll be beaten, I will be caught." So out of fear he fled away. And the guardians, ladies, they were very much anxious, "Who has taken the child? He was with ornaments." But they saw that the child is there. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu enjoyed for some time on the shoulder of the thief.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Were they liberated souls? The thief?

Prabhupāda: At least, after Caitanya Mahāprabhu's getting on their shoulders, (laughs) they must have been liberated.
