After thus delivering the people in general, the Lord desired to leave VÄrÄṇasÄ«. After instructing ÅšrÄ« SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«, He sent him toward Vá¹›ndÄvana.
The actual purpose of Lord Caitanya’s stay at VÄrÄṇasÄ« after coming back from Vá¹›ndÄvana was to meet SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« and teach him. SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« met ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu after the Lord’s return to VÄrÄṇasÄ«, where the Lord taught him for two months about the intricacies of Vaiṣṇava philosophy and Vaiṣṇava activities. After completely instructing him, He sent him to Vá¹›ndÄvana to execute His orders. When SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« went to Vá¹›ndÄvana, there were no temples. The city was lying vacant like an open field. SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« sat down on the bank of the YamunÄ, and after some time he gradually constructed the first temple; then other temples were constructed, and now the city is full of temples, numbering about five thousand.
