Chapter Summary
ÅšrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda ṬhÄkura gives the following summary of the thirteenth chapter in his Amá¹›ta-pravÄha-bhÄá¹£ya. Thinking ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu was uncomfortable sleeping on bark of plantain trees, JagadÄnanda made a pillow and quilt for Him. The Lord, however, did not accept them. Then SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara GosvÄmÄ« made another pillow and quilt from finely shredded plantain leaves, and after strongly objecting, the Lord accepted them. With the permission of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, JagadÄnanda Paṇá¸ita went to Vá¹›ndÄvana, where he discussed many devotional subjects with SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«. There was also a discussion about Mukunda Sarasvatī’s garment. When JagadÄnanda returned to JagannÄtha PurÄ«, he presented ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu with some gifts from SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«, and the incident of the pÄ«lu fruit took place.Once, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu became ecstatic upon hearing the songs of a deva-dÄsÄ«. Unaware of who was singing, He ran toward her through thorny bushes, but when Govinda informed the Lord that it was a woman singing, He immediately stopped. By this incident, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu instructed everyone that sannyÄsÄ«s and Vaiṣṇavas should not hear women singing.When RaghunÄtha Bhaá¹á¹a GosvÄmÄ« left VÄrÄṇasÄ« on his way to JagannÄtha PurÄ« after completing his education, he met RÄmadÄsa ViÅ›vÄsa Paṇá¸ita. ViÅ›vÄsa Paṇá¸ita was very proud of his education, and being an impersonalist, he was not well received by ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. A summary of the life of RaghunÄtha Bhaá¹á¹a GosvÄmÄ« ends this chapter.
