Šri Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā] Ch. 8]
Mahāprabhu asked Rāmānanda Rāya to retire from government service and come to Jagannātha Purī. These descriptions of the meetings between Rāmānanda Rāya and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu are taken from the notebook of Svarūpa Dāmodara Goṣvāmī.

TRANSLATION
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who is known as  Gaurāṅga , is the reservoir of all conclusive knowledge in devotional service. He empowered  Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya , who may be likened to a cloud of devotional service. This cloud was filled with all the conclusive purports of devotional service and was empowered by the ocean to spread this water over the sea.  Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself  was the ocean of knowledge of pure devotional service.
