Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Madhya-līlā, Ch. 1]
PURPORT
When Kṛṣṇa was performing  yajña  (sacrifice) at Kurukṣetra, He invited all the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana to come see Him. Lord Caitanya's heart was always filled with separation from Kṛṣṇa, but as soon as He had the opportunity to visit the Jagannātha temple, He became fully absorbed in the thoughts of the  gopīs  who came to see Kṛṣṇa at Kurukṣetra.
