Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
TRANSLATION
Formerly kings like Jarāsandha [the father-in-law of Kaṁsa] strictly followed the Vedic rituals, thus worshiping Lord Viṣṇu.
PURPORT
In these verses the author of  Caitanya-caritāmṛta , Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī, is very seriously stressing the importance of worship of the Pañca-tattva. If one becomes a devotee of Gaurasundara or Kṛṣṇa but does not give importance to the Pañca-tattva ( śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu nityānanda śrī-advaita gadādhara śrīvāsādi-gaura-bhakta-vṛnda ), his activities are considered to be offenses, or, in the words of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī,  utpāta  (disturbances). One must therefore be ready to offer due respects to the Pañca-tattva before becoming a devotee of Lord Gaurasundara or of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
TEXT 9
कृष्ण नाहि माने, ताते দৈত্য করি মানি। চৈতন্য না মানিলে তৈছে দৈত্য তারে জানি ॥ ৯ ॥
kṛṣṇa nāhi māne, tāte daitya kari' māni caitanya nā mānile taiche daitya tāre jāni
SYNONYMS
kṛṣṇa —Lord Kṛṣṇa;  nāhi —does not;  māne —accept;  tāte —therefore;  daitya —demon;  kari' māni —we accept;  caitanya —Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu;  na —without;  mānile —accepting;  taiche —similarly;  daitya —demon;  tāre —to him;  jāni —we know.
TRANSLATION
One who does not accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead is certainly a demon. Similarly, anyone who does not accept Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Kṛṣṇa, the same Supreme Lord, is also to be considered a demon.
PURPORT
Formerly there were kings like Jarāsandha who strictly followed the Vedic rituals, acted as charitable, competent  kṣatriyas , possessed all  kṣatriya  qualities and were even obedient to the brahminical culture but who did not accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Jarāsandha attacked Kṛṣṇa many times, and each time, of course, he was defeated. Like Jarāsandha, any man who performs Vedic rituals but does not accept Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead must be considered an  asura  or demon. Similarly, one who does not accept Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as Kṛṣṇa Himself is also a demon. This is the conclusion of authoritative scriptures. Therefore, both so-called devotion to Gaurasundara without devotional service to Kṛṣṇa and so-called  Kṛṣṇa-bhakti  without devotional service to
