Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila, Sixth Chapter, describing the liberation of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya.
The Lord’s Tour of South India In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura summarizes the Seventh Chapter as follows.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the renounced order of life in the month of Magha (January-February) and went to Jagannatha Puri in the month of Phalguna (February-March).
He saw the Dola-yatra festival during the month of Phalguna, and in the month of Caitra He liberated Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya.
During the month of Vaisakha, He began to tour South India.
When He proposed to travel to South India alone, Sri Nityananda Prabhu gave Him a brahmana assistant named Krsnadasa.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was beginning His tour, Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya gave Him four sets of clothes and requested Him to see Ramananda Raya, who was residing at that time on the bank of the river Godavari.
Along with other devotees, Nityananda Prabhu accompanied the Lord to Alalanatha, but there Lord Caitanya left them all behind and went ahead with the brahmana Krsnadasa.
The Lord began chanting the mantra “krsna krsna krsna krsna krsna krsna krsna he.” In whatever village He spent the night, whenever a person came to see Him in His shelter, the Lord implored him to preach the Krsna consciousness movement.
After teaching the people of one village, the Lord proceeded to other villages to increase devotees.
In this way He finally reached Kurma-sthana.
While there, He bestowed His causeless mercy upon a brahmana called Kurma and cured another brahmana, named Vasudeva, who was suffering from leprosy.
