tāṅra śikṣā lāgi’ prabhu du-māsa rahilā
When Sanātana Gosvāmī came from Bengal, he met Lord Caitanya at the house of Tapana Miśra, where Lord Caitanya remained continuously for two months to teach him devotional service.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Lord Caitanya taught Sanātana Gosvāmī devotional service for two months in the line of disciplic succession.
Although Sanātana Gosvāmī was a learned scholar, he wrote nothing about Vaiṣṇava behavior until instructed by the Lord. His Hari-bhakti-vilāsa fully followed those instructions.
Hari-bhakti-vilāsa teaches that proper initiation by a bona fide spiritual master enables one to become a brāhmaṇa immediately.
