शुनि ॥ विरह वैष्ाव तुमि ओहे राम राय। कह कह कृष्णकथा जुडाक हृदय ॥ (p. 22). In spite of the fact that Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja himself states that he had based his account of Rāmānanda-Caitanya on Svarūpa Dāmodara's Kaḍacā, it is clear, as B. Majumdar shews (op. cit., pp. 33 f), that he mainly follows Kavikarṇapūra's hints given in his drama (Act vii), but adds to it theological matters developed from the works of the Vṛndāvana Gosvāmins. There is no trace of a theological discussion in Murāri's rather brief account (iii, 15. 1-5), nor any Bhakti-catechism and description of the types, stages, qualities and passions of the devotion to Kṛṣṇa.
