Lord Caitanya, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, corrected Vallabha Bhaṭṭa through various hints and refutations, just as Kṛṣṇa corrected Indra.
Proud of his position and power, Indra poured incessant rain upon Vṛndāvana when its residents followed Kṛṣṇa’s instructions to perform Govardhana-yajña instead of Indra-yajña.
Kṛṣṇa lifted Govardhana Hill as an umbrella to protect the residents. He showed that Indra’s power was most insignificant before His own omnipotence.
