The Lord’s Pauganda-lila
A synopsis of the Fifteenth Chapter is as follows. The Lord took lessons in
grammar from Gangadasa Pandita and became very expert in commenting upon
grammar. He forbade His mother to take grains on the Exadasi day. He narrated a
story that Visvardpa, after accepting the sannydsa order, invited Him in a dream to
accept sannydasa also, but the Lord refused and was therefore sent back home. When
fagannatha Misra passed away, the Lord married the daughter of Vallabhacarya,
whose name was Lakgmi. All these events are summarized in this chapter.
