Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
After Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa’s years of service, his parents died at Kāśī, Vārāṇasī.
He then became detached and gave up all relationships with his home. This followed his faithful service to his parents, rather than replacing it.
He returned to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. His departure from home brought him back to the Lord’s company.
Concern and affectionate restraint. Devotees seek to care for the Lord while He maintains His renounced practice.

When Raghunātha Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī left Vārāṇasī on his way to Jagannātha Purī after completing his education, he met Rāmadāsa Viśvāsa Paṇḍita. Viśvāsa Paṇḍita was very proud of his education, and being an impersonalist, he was not well received by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 13
