Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, “Although Mukunda is My friend from childhood, I nonetheless take greater pleasure in seeing you than in seeing him.”
PURPORT
Vasudeva Datta was the father of Mukunda Datta, who was the childhood friend of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
It is naturally a great pleasure to see a friend, but Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu informed the father that although it was His pleasure to see His friend, His pleasure was increased by seeing the father.
