PURPORT
In the Antya-lila of Caitanya-caritamrta, Chapter Two, verses 104-106, there is a description of Madhavidevi.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu considered her one of the maidservants of Srimati Radharani.
Within this world, Caitanya Mahaprabhu had three and a half very confidential devotees.
The three were Svarupa Gosani, Sri Ramananda Raya and Sikhi Mahiti, and Sikhi Mahiti’s sister, Madhavidevi, being a woman, was considered the half.
Thus it is known that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had three and a half confidential devotees.
