¹ Kṛṣṇadāsa's Caitanya caritāmṛta, Madhya iv, 48-104. 2 Caitanya and His Companions (Calcutta 1907), p. 207. 3 Prema-vilāsa, ch. xxiii. As the authenticity of this chapter is not beyond question, these details may or may not be correct. It is curious that in the C-bh, Ādi ix, Īśvara Purī calls himself "a humble śūdra" (śūdrādhama)! Probably this is a term of humility. 4 Ed. Kāvyamālā, pp. 272-284. 5 प्रभु कहे ईश्वरपुरीर जन्मस्थान [ए मृत्तिका आमार जीवन धन प्राय ॥] (Caitanya-bhāgavata, Ādi. xv).
