Another day, GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita invited ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu to dinner. The Lord took prasÄdam at his home with His personal associates.

Purport

ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura comments that Lord ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu acted as a very merciful well-wisher toward Vallabha Bhaá¹­á¹­a by externally neglecting him in many ways to purify him of his false pride in being a learned scholar. The Lord neglected GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita for a few days because of his associating with Vallabha Bhaá¹­á¹­a. Actually He was not at all displeased with GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita. Indeed, because GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita is the personal potency of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu, there is no chance of the Lord’s being dissatisfied with him. However, a person who is too much attracted to externals cannot understand the deep meaning of these dealings of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. If one therefore becomes disrespectful to GadÄdhara Paṇá¸ita, he will surely be vanquished.
