Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
any student to note down his explanations of logic. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was so talented, however, that he learned the explanations by heart, and when he later returned to Navadvīpa he established a school for the study of logic, thus diminishing the importance of Mithilā. Students from various parts of India still come to Navadvīpa to study logic. According to some authoritative opinions, the celebrated logician Raghunātha Śiromaṇi was also a student of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya. In effect, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya became the leader of all students of logic. Although he was a  gṛhastha  (householder), he even taught many  sannyāsīs  in the knowledge of logic. He started a school at Jagannātha Purī for the study of Vedānta philosophy, of which he was a great scholar. When Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya met Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he advised the Lord to learn Vedānta philosophy from him, but later he became a student of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to understand the real meaning of Vedānta. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was so fortunate as to see the six-armed form of Lord Caitanya known as  Śaḍbhuja . A  Śaḍbhuja  Deity is still situated at one end of the Jagannātha temple. Daily  saṅkīrtana  performances take place in this part of the temple. The meeting of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya with Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is vividly described in the  Madhya-līlā , Chapter Six. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya wrote a book named  Caitanya-śataka . Of the 100 verses of this book, two verses, beginning with the words  vairāgya-vldyā-nijabhaktiyoga , are very famous among Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas. The  Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā  (119) states that Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya was an incarnation of Bṛhaspati, the learned scholar from the celestial planets.
Gopīnātha Ācārya, who belonged to a respectable  brāhmaṇa  family, was also an inhabitant of Navadvīpa and constant companion of the Lord. He was the husband of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya's sister. In the  Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā  (178) it is described that he was formerly the  gopī  named Ratnāvalī. According to the opinion of others, he was an incarnation of Brahmā.
