Sankare dekhiya—seeing Sankara; prabhu—the Lord; kahe—says; damodare —
unto Damodara; sa-gaurava-priti—affection with awe and reverence; amara—

TRANSLATION
After seeing Sankara, Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told Damodara, “My
affection for you is on the platform of affection with awe and reverence.
PURPORT
Here the Lord is addressing Damodara Pandita, who is different from Svarapa
Damodara. Damodara Pandita is the elder brother of Sankara. Thus the Lord in-
formed Damodara that His affection toward him was on the platform of awe and
reverence. However, the Lord’s affection toward his younger brother, Sankara,
was on the platform of pure love.
