Witnessing Uncommon Love for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu

“My purpose in binding my head with the cloth has now been fulfilled because I have personally seen your uncommon love for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 13.60, translation

  • He has personally witnessed Jagadānanda Paṇḍita’s uncommon love for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
  • His response draws attention to that love rather than continuing the disagreement about the cloth.
