Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 7 Summary
The following summary of Chapter Seven is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. In this chapter, Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's meeting with Vallabha Bhatta is described. There was some joking behavior between these two personalities, and finally Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu corrected Vallabha Bhatta and sympathetically accepted an invitation from him. Before this, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw that Vallabha Bhatta was greatly attached to Gadadhara Pandita. Therefore He acted as if displeased with Gadadhara Pandita. Later, when Vallabha Bhatta became intimately connected with the Lord, the Lord advised him to take instructions from Gadadhara Pandita. Thus the Lord expressed His feelings of love for Gadadhara Pandita.
