Among His associates, Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu enjoyed paternal loving affection from ParamÄnanda PurÄ«, friendly affection with RÄmÄnanda RÄya, unalloyed service from Govinda and others, and humors of conjugal love with GadÄdhara, JagadÄnanda and SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu enjoyed all these four mellows, and thus He remained obliged to His devotees.
ParamÄnanda PurÄ« is said to have been Uddhava in Vá¹›ndÄvana. His affections with ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu were on the platform of paternal love. This was because ParamÄnanda PurÄ« happened to be the Godbrother of the spiritual master of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. Similarly, RÄmÄnanda RÄya, who is considered an incarnation of Arjuna and by some an incarnation of ViÅ›ÄkhÄdevÄ«, enjoyed unalloyed fraternal love with the Lord. Unalloyed personal service was enjoyed by Govinda and others. In the presence of His most confidential devotees like GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita, JagadÄnanda and SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara, Caitanya MahÄprabhu enjoyed the ecstatic conditions of ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī in Her conjugal relationship with Kṛṣṇa. Absorbed in these four transcendental mellows, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu resided in JagannÄtha PurÄ«, feeling very much obliged to His devotees.
