Text 265] The Later Pastimes of Lord Caitanya 153
TRANSLATION
Soon afterward, Vallabha Bhatta met the Lord at Jagannatha Puri, and
the Lord explained to him the import of the holy name of Krsna.
PURPORT
This Vallabha Bhatta is the head of the Vaisnava sampradaya known as the
Vallabhacarya-sampradaya in western India. There is a long story about
Vallabha Ac&rya narrated in the Caitanya-caritamrta, specifically in the Sev-
enth Chapter of Antya-lila and the Nineteenth Chapter of Madhya-lila. Lord
Caitanya Mahdaprabhu visited the house of Vallabha Acarya on the other side
of Praydga in a place known as Adaila-grama. Later, Vallabha Bhatta saw
Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri to explain his commentary on
Srimad-Bhagavatam. He was very proud of his writings, but $1 Caitanya
Mahaprabhu corrected him, telling him that a Vaisnava should be humble and
follow in the footsteps of his predecessors. The Lord told him that his pride in
being superior to $ridhara Svami was not at all befitting a Vaisnava.
