190 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 18

Supreme Personality of Godhead.” One who disobeys the orders of the spiritual
master is also considered a pasandi. The word pasandi has been described in
many places in Srimad-Bhagavatam, including 4.2.28, 30, 32; 5.6.9 and 12.2.13,
43.

On the whole, a pasandi is a nondevotee who does not accept the Vedic con-
clusions. In the Hari-bhakti-vilasa (1.117) there is a verse quoted from Padma
Purana describing the pasandi. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu quotes this verse as the
following text.
