The Lord Requests Permission to Leave

What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked permission to go to Ālālanātha.
- He said He would remain there alone, with only Govinda accompanying Him.
- His reply to the appeal was a request to leave, not an agreement to show favor to Junior Haridāsa.
