Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Madhya-līlā, Ch. 2]
matter of description;  gaurasya —of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu;  kṛṣṇa-viccheda —of separation from Kṛṣṇa;  pralāpa —craziness;  ādi —other subject matters;  anuvarṇyate —is being described.
TRANSLATION
While relating in synopsis form the last division of the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in this chapter I shall describe the Lord's transcendental ecstasy, which appears like madness due to His separation from Kṛṣṇa.
PURPORT
In this Second Chapter, the activities of Lord Caitanya that took place after the Lord accepted  sannyāsa  are generally described. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is specifically mentioned here as being  gaura , or of fair complexion. Kṛṣṇa is generally known to be blackish, but when He is absorbed in the thought of the  gopīs , who are all of fair complexion, Kṛṣṇa Himself also becomes fair. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in particular felt separation from Kṛṣṇa very deeply, exactly like a lover who is dejected in separation from the beloved. Such feelings, which were expressed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu for nearly twelve years at the end of His pastimes, are described in brief in this Second Chapter of  Madhya-līlā .
