ei-mata - in this way; vipra-gaṇa - all the brÄhmaṇas; bhÄve - think; mane mana - within their minds; vijÄtÄ«ya loka - outside people; dekhi - seeing; prabhu - Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu; kaila - did; samvaraṇa - restraining.
While the brÄhmaṇas were thinking in this way about the activities of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu and RÄmÄnanda RÄya, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu saw those outsiders and restrained His transcendental emotions.
RÄmÄnanda RÄya was intimately related to ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; therefore he can be accepted as a sajÄtÄ«ya, a person within the intimate circle of the Lord. The brÄhmaṇas, however, were followers of the Vedic rituals and were not able to have an intimate connection with ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. Consequently they are called vijÄtÄ«ya-loka. In other words, they were not pure devotees. One may be a highly learned brÄhmaṇa, but if he is not a pure devotee he is a vijÄtÄ«ya, an outcaste, one outside devotional service — in other words, a nondevotee. Although ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu and RÄmÄnanda RÄya were embracing in ecstasy, the Lord restrained His transcendental emotions upon seeing the outsider brÄhmaṇas.
