Lord Caitanya showed His causeless mercy to Jagadīśa Paṇḍita and Hiraṇya Mahāśaya during His childhood.
Jagadīśa Paṇḍita was formerly a great dancer in kṛṣṇa-līlā, known as Candrahāsa.
While Lord Nityānanda stayed at Hiraṇya Paṇḍita’s home, a thief tried all night to steal His valuable jewels but failed. Later, the thief came to Nityānanda Prabhu and surrendered unto Him.
