Praying at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, always desiring their mercy, I, Krsnadasa, narrate Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, following in their footsteps.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila, Twelfth Chapter, describing Jagadananda Pandita’s loving dealings with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
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.
