TRANSLATION

Gadadhara Pandita, the fourth branch, is described as an incarnation of the
pleasure potency of Sri Krsna. No one, therefore, can equal him.

PURPORT

In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, verses 147 through 153, it is stated: ‘The pleasure
potency of Sri Krsna formerly known as Vendavanesvari is now personified in the
form of Sri Gadadhara Pandita in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri
SvarGpa Damodara Gosvami has pointed out that in the shape of Laksmi, the pleasure
potency of Krsna, she was formerly very dear to the Lord as Syamasundara-vallabha.
The same Syamasundara-vallabha is now present as Gadadhara Pandita. Formerly,
as Lalita-sakhi, she was always devoted to Srimati Radharani. In the Twelfth
Chapter of this part of Caitanya-caritamrta there is a description of the descendants
or disciplic succession of Gadadhara Pandita.
