This is a verse from the MahÄbhÄrata (DÄna-dharma, Viṣṇu-sahasra-nÄma-stotra). In his commentary on the Viṣṇu-sahasra-nÄma, called the NÄmÄrtha-sudhÄ, ÅšrÄ«la Baladeva VidyÄbhūṣaṇa, commenting upon this verse, asserts that Lord Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to the evidence of the Upaniá¹£ads. He explains that suvarṇa-varṇaḥ means a golden complexion. He also quotes the Vedic injunction yadÄ paÅ›yaḥ paÅ›yate rukma-varṇaá¹ kartÄram īśaá¹ puruá¹£aá¹ brahma-yonim (Muṇá¸aka Up. 3.1.3). Rukma-varṇaá¹ kartÄram īśam refers to the Supreme Personality of Godhead as having a complexion the color of molten gold. Puruá¹£am means the Supreme Lord, and brahma-yonim indicates that He is also the Supreme Brahman. This evidence, too, proves that Lord Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa. Another meaning of the description of the Lord as having a golden hue is that Lord Caitanya’s personality is as fascinating as gold is attractive. ÅšrÄ«la Baladeva VidyÄbhūṣaṇa has explained that the word varÄá¹…ga means “exquisitely beautiful.â€
Lord Caitanya accepted sannyÄsa, leaving aside His householder life, to preach His mission. He has equanimity in different senses. First, He describes the confidential truth of the Personality of Godhead, and second, He satisfies everyone by knowledge and attachment to Kṛṣṇa. He is peaceful because He renounces all topics not related to the service of Kṛṣṇa. ÅšrÄ«la Baladeva VidyÄbhūṣaṇa has explained that the word niá¹£á¹hÄ indicates His being rigidly fixed in chanting the holy name of ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa. Lord Caitanya subdued all disturbing opponents of devotional service, especially the monists, who are actually averse to the personal feature of the Supreme Lord.
