Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asked permission to go to Ālālanātha.
He said He would remain there alone, with only Govinda accompanying Him.
His reply to the appeal was a request to leave, not an agreement to show favor to Junior Haridāsa.
Sorrow and uncompromising discipline. Junior Haridāsa’s exclusion and death present an ethically painful episode.
