Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu asks Sanātana Gosvāmī to stay with Him at Jagannātha Purī.
He specifies that Sanātana should remain there for one year.
After that year, the Lord says He will send Sanātana to Vṛndāvana. His instruction gives both a present place and a future destination.
Despair met with care. Sanātana’s wish to die is interrupted by the Lord’s protective insistence on his future service.
