Thus, I, Krsnadasa, the servant of Srila Rupa Gosvami, have sung of four divisions of the Lord’s pastimes in this chapter: the Lord’s devotion to His mother, His words of madness, His rubbing His face against the walls at night, and His dancing at the appearance of Lord Krsna’s fragrance.

PURPORT

Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami says that he has been able to describe these four pastimes of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by the blessings of Srila Rupa Gosvami.

Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami was not actually a direct disciple of Srila Rupa Gosvami, but he followed the instructions given by Srila Rupa Gosvami in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu.

He therefore acted according to the directions of Rupa Gosvami and prayed in every chapter for his mercy.
