Chapter 13
Pastimes with Jagadananda Pandita and Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the following summary of the Thirteenth Chapter in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Thinking Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be uncomfortable sleeping on bark of plantain trees, Jagadananda made a pillow and quilt for Him. The Lord, however, did not accept them. Then Svarupa Damodara Gosvami made another pillow and quilt from finely shredded plantain leaves, and after strongly objecting, the Lord accepted them. With the permission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Jagadananda Pandita went to Vrndavana, where he discussed many devotional subjects with Sanatana Gosvami. There was also a discussion about Mukunda Sarasvati’s garment. When Jagadananda returned to Jagannatha Puri, he presented Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu some gifts from Sanatana Gosvami, and the incident of the pilu fruit took place.
Once, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu became ecstatic upon hearing the songs of a deva-dasi. 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, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed everyone that sannyasis and Vaisnavas should not hear women singing.
When Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami left Varanasi on his way to Jagannatha Puri after completing his education, he met Ramadasa Visvasa Pandita. Visvasa Pandita was very proud of his education, and being an impersonalist, he was not well received by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. A partial study of the life of Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami comprises the end of this chapter.

"Do not mix freely with the residents of Mathura; show them respect from a distance. Because you are on a different platform of devotional service, you cannot adopt their behavior and practices.
PURPORT
The residents of Vrndavana and Mathura are devotees of Krsna in parental affection, and their feelings always conflict with the opinions of smarta-brahmanas. Devotees who worship Krsna in opulence cannot understand the parental devotional feelings of the residents of Mathura and Vrndavana, who follow the path of spontaneous love. Devotees on the platform of vidhi-marga (regulative devotional principles) may misunderstand the activities of those on the platform of raga-marga (devotional service in spontaneous love). Therefore Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed Jagadananda Pandita to remain apart from the residents of Vrndavana, who were spontaneous devotees, so as not to become disrespectful toward them.

TRANSLATION
"You should remain in Vrndavana for only a short time and then return here as soon as possible. Also, do not climb Govardhana Hill to see the Gopala Deity.
PURPORT
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura advises that one avoid remaining in Vrndavana for a very long time. As the saying goes, “Familiarity breeds contempt.” If one stays in Vrndavana for many days, he may fail to maintain proper respect for its inhabitants. Therefore those who have not attained the stage of spontaneous love for Krsna should not live in Vrndavana very long. It is better for them to make short visits. One should also avoid climbing Govardhana Hill to see the Gopala Deity. Since Govardhana Hill itself is identical with Gopala, one should not step on the hill or touch it with his feet. One may see Gopala when He goes elsewhere.
