රේඩ Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā, Ch. 6]]
TRANSLATION
The Bhaṭṭācārya explained the ātmārāma verse in nine different ways on the basis of scripture. After hearing his explanation, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, smiling a little, began to speak.
PURPORT
The  ātmārāma  verse was discussed at Naimiṣāraṇya at a meeting of many great sages, headed by Śaunaka Rṣi. They questioned Śrīla Sūta Gosvāmī, who presided at the meeting, about why Śrīla Śukadeva Gosvāmī, a  paramahaṁsa  already in the transcendental position, was attracted to a discussion of the qualities of Kṛṣṇa. In other words, they wanted to know why Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī engaged in the study of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam .
