Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 8.45
এই নিন্দা করি’ কহে সর্বলোক-স্থানে ।

ei nindā kari’ kahe sarva-loka-sthāne
prabhure dekhiteha avaśya āise prati-dine

Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Rāmacandra Purī blasphemed Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu before everyone.
Nevertheless, he regularly came to see the Lord every day.
His repeated visits did not stop his fault-finding; visiting the Lord and appreciating Him were not the same for Rāmacandra Purī.
Discomfort and vigilance. Fault-finding disrupts devotional life, exposing the emotional cost of criticism.

From Śrīla Prabhupāda's chapter summary, the lines nearest this verse:
For this reason he was not very respectful to the Vaiṣṇavas, and later he became so fallen that he began criticizing Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu for His eating. Hearing his criticisms, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu reduced His eating, but after Rāmacandra Purī left Jagannātha Purī, the Lord resumed His usual behavior.Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 8
