Remembering the Lord’s Earlier Kindness

“Returning home that night, Vallabha Bhaṭṭa thought, “Previously, at Prayāga, Lord Caitanya was very kind to me.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 7.120, translation

  • Vallabha Bhaṭṭa returned home that night and reflected on his experience.
  • He remembered that Lord Caitanya had previously been very kind to him at Prayāga.
  • This memory began his consideration of why the Lord now treated him differently.
