Chapter 13
Pastimes with Jagadananda Pandita and Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the following summary of the Thirteenth
Chapter in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Thinking Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be
uncomfortable sleeping on bark of plantain trees, Jagadananda made a pillow and
quilt for Him. The Lord, however, did not accept them. Then Svarupa Damodara
Gosvami made another pillow and quilt from finely shredded plantain leaves, and
after strongly objecting, the Lord accepted them. With the permission of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Jagadananda Pandita went to Vrndavana, where he discussed
many devotional subjects with Sanatana Gosvami. There was also a discussion
about Mukunda Sarasvati's garment. When Jagadananda returned to Jagannatha
Puri, he presented Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu some gifts from Sanatana Gosvami,
and the incident of the pilu fruit took place.
Once, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu became ecstatic upon hearing the songs of
a deva-dasi. Unaware of who was singing, He ran toward her through thorny
bushes, but when Govinda informed the Lord that it was a woman singing, He
immediately stopped. By this incident, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed
everyone that sannyasis and Vaisnavas should not hear women singing.
When Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami left Varanasi on his way to Jagannatha
Puri after completing his education, he met Ramadasa Visvasa Pandita. Visvasa
Pandita was very proud of his education, and being an impersonalist, he was not
well received by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A partial study of the life of
Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami comprises the end of this chapter.

rob all his belongings and kidnap him for their own service. According to one
opinion, the rogues of Bihar know very well that Bengalis are intelligent;
therefore these thieves generally force the Bengalis into service requiring
intelligence and do not allow them to leave.

TRANSLATION
"Do not mix freely with the residents of Mathura; show them respect
from a distance. Because you are on a different platform of devotional service,
you cannot adopt their behavior and practices.
PURPORT
The residents of Vrndavana and Mathura are devotees of Krsna in parental
affection, and their feelings always conflict with the opinions of
smarta-brahmanas. Devotees who worship Krsna in opulence cannot understand the
parental devotional feelings of the residents of Mathura and Vrndavana, who
follow the path of spontaneous love. Devotees on the platform of vidhi-marga (regulative
devotional principles) may misunderstand the activities of those on the
platform of raga-marga (devotional service in spontaneous love). Therefore Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed Jagadananda Pandita to remain apart from the
residents of Vrndavana, who were spontaneous devotees, so as not to become
disrespectful toward them.

TRANSLATION
"You should remain in Vrndavana for only a short time and then
return here as soon as possible. Also, do not climb Govardhana Hill to see the
Gopala Deity.
PURPORT
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura advises that one
avoid remaining in Vrndavana for a very long time. As the saying goes,
"Familiarity breeds contempt." If one stays in Vrndavana for many
days, he may fail to maintain proper respect for its inhabitants. Therefore
those who have not attained the stage of spontaneous love for Krsna should not
live in Vrndavana very long. It is better for them to make short visits. One
should also avoid climbing Govardhana Hill to see the Gopala Deity. Since
Govardhana Hill itself is identical with Gopala, one should not step on the
hill or touch it with his feet. One may see Gopala when He goes elsewhere.
