After seeing Åšaá¹…kara, Lord ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu told DÄmodara, “My affection for you is on the platform of awe and reverence.

Purport

Here the Lord is addressing DÄmodara Paṇá¸ita, who is different from SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara. DÄmodara Paṇá¸ita is the elder brother of Åšaá¹…kara. Thus the Lord informed DÄmodara that His affection toward him was on the platform of awe and reverence. However, the Lord’s affection toward his younger brother, Åšaá¹…kara, was on the platform of pure love.
