What the purport teaches
- Jagadīśa Paṇḍita was the fifteenth branch of Lord Nityānanda’s followers and the deliverer of the entire world. Devotional love of Kṛṣṇa showered from him like torrents of rain.
- His parents were great devotees of Lord Viṣṇu. After their death, he moved with his wife and brother to Śrī Māyāpur to live among Jagannātha Miśra and other Vaiṣṇavas.
- Lord Caitanya asked him to preach the hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana movement in Jagannātha Purī. After returning, he established Deities of Jagannātha in Yaśaḍā-grāma on Lord Jagannātha’s order.
