Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 4.169
তোমারে উপদেশ করে, না যায় সহন ।
অতএব তারে আমি করিয়ে ভর্ৎসন ॥ ১৬৯ ॥
tomāre upadeśa kare, nā yāya sahana
ataeva tāre āmi kariye bhartsana
“Jagā’s advising you is intolerable for Me. Therefore I am chastising him.
Read this verse on Vedabase.ioThis verse has no purport; its meaning is explained by the verses around it.
Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu says that Jagā’s advising Sanātana is intolerable to Him.
His objection concerns etiquette: Jagā is young, whereas Sanātana is an experienced scriptural authority.
He explains that this is why He is chastising Jagā, not because Sanātana is less dear to Him.
Despair met with care. Sanātana’s wish to die is interrupted by the Lord’s protective insistence on his future service.

This made Sanātana Gosvāmī very unhappy, and therefore he consulted Jagadānanda Paṇḍita about what he should do. Jagadānanda advised him to return to Vṛndāvana after the car festival of Jagannātha, but when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu heard about this instruction, He chastised Jagadānanda Paṇḍita and reminded him that Sanātana Gosvāmī was senior to him and also more learned.Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 4
