Jayapatākā Swami: That we should not judge a guru by his external appearance. As soon as Mukunda Datta started to sing the glories of Kṛṣṇa, then Puṇḍarīka Premanidhi started to manifest such ecstatic loving symptoms that Gadādhara Paṇḍita realized he had made a great offence, he had judged him based on some external situation.
Puṇḍarīka Vidyānidhi was also called Premanidhi. Because Vidyānidhi means ocean of knowledge and Premanidhi means ocean of love. He was both! He was an ocean of know and ocean of love! Gauuuuuranga! Haribol!
