Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
One must be a submissive student of the six Gosvāmīs, from Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī to Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī. Not following their instructions but imagining how to worship Gaurasundara and Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa is a great offense, as a result of which one clears a path to hell. If one neglects the instructions of the six Gosvāmīs and yet becomes a so-called devotee of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, he merely criticizes the real devotees of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. As a result of speculation, he considers Gaurasundara to be an ordinary devotee and therefore cannot make progress in serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.

PURPORT
Śrī Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura's  Caitanya-bhāgavata  was originally entitled  Caitanya-maṅgala , but when Śrīla Locana dāsa Ṭhākura later wrote another book named  Caitanya-maṅgala , Śrīla Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura changed the name of his own book, which is now therefore known as  Caitanya-bhāgavata . The life of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is very elaborately described in  Caitanya-bhāgavata , and Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī has already informed us that in his  Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta  he has described whatever Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura has not mentioned. This acceptance of  Śrī-Caitanya-bhāgavata  by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī indicates his acceptance of the disciplic succession. A writer of transcendental literature never tries to surpass the previous  ācāryas .
