Chapter 13
The Advent of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu
This Thirteenth Chapter of  Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta  describes Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu's appearance. The entire  Ādi-līlā  section describes Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu's household life, and similarly the  Antya-līlā  describes His life in the  sannyāsa  order. Within the  Antya-līlā , the first six years of His  sannyāsa  life are called  Madhya-līlā . During this time, Caitanya Mahāprabhu toured southern India, went to Vṛndāvana, returned from Vṛndāvana and preached the  sahkīrtana  movement.
A learned  brāhmaṇa  named Upendra Miśra who resided in the district of Śrīhaṭṭa was the father of Jagannātha Miśra, who came to Navadvīpa to study under the direction of Nilāmbara Cakravartī and then settled there after marrying Nilāmbara Cakravartī's daughter, Śacīdevī. Śrī Śacīdevī gave birth to eight children, all daughters, who died one after another immediately after birth. After her ninth pregnancy, she gave birth to a son, who was named Viśvarūpa. Then, in 1407 Śaka Era on the full-moon evening of the month of Phālguna, during the constellation of  sirihalagna , Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared as the son of Śrī Śacīdevī and Jagannātha Miśra. After hearing of the birth of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, learned scholars and  brāhmaṇas , bringing many gifts, came to see the newly born baby. Nilāmbara Cakravartī, who was a great astrologer, immediately prepared a horoscope, and by astrological calculation he saw that the child was a great personality. This chapter describes the symptoms of this great personality.
