Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The Lord went to Gayā in order to perform His father’s śrāddha
ceremony. The abode of Gayā is celebrated by the mark of the lotus feet of Lord Hari. By accepting Śrī Īśvara Purī as His spiritual master, the Lord showered unlimited mercy on the beloved disciple of Śrī Mādhavendra Purī, who belongs to the Madhva-sampradāya.
The son of Advaita Ācārya and follower of Gadādhara Paṇḍita, Śrī Acyutānanda, replied to His father’s question as follows, “Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the spiritual master of the fourteen worlds, but You say that someone else is His spiritual master. This is not supported by any revealed scripture.” Under the influence of material knowledge, many foolish persons accept Śrī Gaurasundara as the disciple of Śrī Īśvara Purī, but in order to deliver such deluded people from calamity, Śrī Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura, the king of Vaiṣṇavas, established Īśvara Purī as the recipient of the Lord’s mercy.
