94 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta {Madhya-lila, Ch. 8

TRANSLATION

While the brahmanas were thinking in this way about the activities of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the
brahmanas and restrained His transcendental emotions.

PURPORT

Ramananda Raya was intimately related to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu; therefore
he can be accepted as a sajatiya, a person within the intimate circle of the Lord.
The brahmanas, however, were followers of the Vedic rituals and were not able to
have an intimate connection with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Consequently they
are called vijatiya-loka. In other words, they were not pure devotees. One may be
a highly learned brahmana, but if he is not a pure devotee he is a vijatiya, an out-
caste, one outside devotional service—in other words, a nondevotee. Although
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya were embracing in ecstasy, the
Lord restrained His transcendental emotions upon seeing the outsider brahmanas.
