Subuddhi Rāya received Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s order to go to Vṛndāvana. He responded by leaving Vārāṇasī.
His route took him through Prayāga, Ayodhyā and Naimiṣāraṇya. He continued toward Vṛndāvana as instructed.
After seeking guidance in confusion, he now acted on the Lord’s direction. His journey followed the instruction to go to Vṛndāvana and chant.
Reconciliation and broad mercy. Opponents turn toward bhakti; the Lord returns to Purī and embraces devotees.
