Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Kṛṣṇadāsa came from a pure and respectable brāhmaṇa family. He accompanied Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu through southern India to carry His waterpot.
In Malabar, members of the Bhaṭṭathāri cult tried to captivate Kṛṣṇadāsa by supplying a woman to seduce him. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saved him from being harmed.
On returning to Jagannātha Purī, the Lord ordered Kṛṣṇadāsa to remain separate from Him. Kṛṣṇadāsa thus lost His personal association because the Lord was not favorably disposed toward an associate attracted by a woman.
