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