Text 137] Ramananda Raya Instructs Pradyumna Misra 189

PURPORT

Svartipa Damodara Gosvami informed the Bengali poet, “Because of your ig-
norance and your leaning toward Mayavada philosophy, you cannot distinguish
the difference between the Mayavada and Vaisnava philosophies. Therefore the
process you have adopted to praise Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord
Jagannatha does not follow the proper system; indeed, it is irregular and offensive.
Fortunately, however, through your words, the goddess of learning, mother
Sarasvati, has tactfully offered her prayers to her master, Lord $ri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu.”
