লোক নিস্তারিয়া প্রভুর চলিতে হৈল মন ।
বৃন্দাবনে পাঠাইলা শ্রীসনাতন ॥ ১৬০ ॥
loka nistāriyā prabhura calite haila mana
vṛndāvane pāṭhāilā śrī-sanātana
After thus delivering the people in general, the Lord desired to leave Vārāṇasī. After instructing Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī, He sent him toward Vṛndāvana.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The actual purpose of Lord Caitanya’s stay at Vārāṇasī was to meet Sanātana Gosvāmī and teach him.
The Lord taught him for two months about the intricacies of Vaiṣṇava philosophy and activities. After completely instructing him, He sent him to Vṛndāvana to execute His orders.
Vṛndāvana then had no temples and lay vacant like an open field. Sanātana Gosvāmī stayed on the bank of the Yamunā and gradually constructed the first temple; many others followed.
