Concern About Displeasing Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu
“Thus Paṇḍita Gosāñi fell into a dilemma. He was in such doubt that he could not decide alone what to do.”
What the purport teaches
- Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not take Vallabha Bhaṭṭa very seriously, so Gadādhara Paṇḍita became perplexed.
- Gadādhara Paṇḍita wondered what his position would be if he heard Vallabha Bhaṭṭa’s explanation of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s name.
- He thought that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu would certainly be displeased. In this doubt, he could not decide alone what to do.
