Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu�s Stay at the House of Advaita Acarya

In his Am?ta-pravaha-bha?ya, Srila Bhaktivinoda ?hakura gives the following summary


of the third chapter. After accepting the sannyasa order at Katwa, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu traveled continuously for three days in Ra?ha-desa and, by the trick of
Nityananda Prabhu, eventually came to the western side of Santipura. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu was induced to believe that the river Ganges was the Yamuna. When He was
worshiping the sacred river, Advaita Prabhu arrived in a boat. Advaita Prabhu asked
Him to take His bath in the Ganges and took Him to His (Advaita�s) house. There all
the Navadvipa devotees, along with mother Sacidevi, came to see Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. This house was located at Santipura. Mother Sacidevi cooked for Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu, and at that time there were many joking
exchanges between Advaita Prabhu and Nityananda Prabhu. In the evening there was a
mass sa?kirtana at the house of Advaita Prabhu, and mother Sacidevi gave Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu permission to leave. She requested Him to make Jagannatha Puri,
Nilacala, His headquarters. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu granted His mother�s request
and, followed by Nityananda, Mukunda, Jagadananda and Damodara, left Santipura.
Bidding farewell to mother Sacidevi, they all proceeded toward Jagannatha Puri,
following the path of Chatrabhoga.

Text 1: After accepting the sannyasa order of life, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out
of intense love for K???a, wanted to go to V?ndavana, but apparently by mistake He
wandered in the Ra?ha-desa. Later He arrived at Santipura and enjoyed Himself there
with His devotees. I offer my respectful obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Text 2: All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! All glories to Nityananda! All
glories to Advaita Prabhu! And all glories to all the devotees of Lord Caitanya,
headed by Srivasa!
Text 3: At the end of His twenty-fourth year, in the month of Magha, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order during the waxing period of the moon.
Text 4: After accepting the sannyasa order, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of intense
love for K???a, started for V?ndavana. However, He mistakenly wandered about in a
trance continuously for three days in the tract of land known as Ra?ha-desa.
Text 5: Passing through the tract of land known as Ra?ha-desa, Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu recited the following verse in ecstasy.
Text 6: �[As a brahma?a from Avanti-desa said:] �I shall cross over the
insurmountable ocean of nescience by being firmly fixed in the service of the lotus
feet of K???a. This was approved by the previous acaryas, who were fixed in firm
devotion to the Lord, Paramatma, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.�?�
