bhakta-gaṇa-saá¹…ge - with the devotees; prabhu - Lord ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; udyÄne - in the garden; ÄsiyÄ - coming; vá¹›ndÄvana-vihÄra - the pastimes of Vá¹›ndÄvana; kare - performs; bhakta-gaṇa laÃ±Ä - with all the devotees.
Accompanied by His devotees, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu then went into the garden and enjoyed the pastimes of Vá¹›ndÄvana.
ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura has pointed out that this vá¹›ndÄvana-vihÄra — the pastimes of Vá¹›ndÄvana — does not refer to Kṛṣṇa’s mixing with the gopÄ«s or the transcendental mellow of parakÄ«ya-rasa. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s vá¹›ndÄvana-lÄ«lÄ in the garden of JagannÄtha PurÄ« did not involve association with women or with other people’s wives in the fashion transcendentally demonstrated by ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa. In His vá¹›ndÄvana-lÄ«lÄ, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu conceived of Himself as the assistant of ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī. When ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī enjoyed the company of Kṛṣṇa, Her maidservants were very pleased. One should not compare ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s vá¹›ndÄvana-vihÄra in the garden of JagannÄtha with the activities of the gaurÄá¹…ga-nÄgarÄ«s.
