Absorbed in Pure Parental Love
“In this way Jagannātha Miśra and the brāhmaṇa discussed the principles of religion in the dream, yet Jagannātha Miśra was absorbed in unalloyed parental mellow and did not want to know anything else.”

- Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is worshiped by the Vedas, Upaniṣads and great personalities. Yet mother Yaśodā and Nanda considered Him their own little son.
- Similarly, Jagannātha Miśra considered Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu his beloved little boy, although learned brāhmaṇas and saintly persons worship Him with all veneration.
