Review the Chapter’s Three Topics
“In this chapter I have spoken about three topics: Jagadānanda Paṇḍita’s visit to Vṛndāvana, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s listening to the song of the deva-dāsī at the temple of Jagannātha, and how Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī achieved ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa by the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.”
What the purport teaches
- The first topic is Jagadānanda Paṇḍita’s visit to Vṛndāvana.
- The second is Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s listening to the song of the deva-dāsī at the temple of Jagannātha.
- The third is Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī’s attainment of ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mercy.
