TRANSLATION
Later, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami left home and took shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri. At that time, the Lord received him and placed him under the care of Svarupa Damodara for spiritual enlightenment.
PURPORT
In this regard, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami writes in Vilapa-kusumanjali (5):
yo mam dustara-geha-nirjala-maha-kupad apara-klamat
sadyah sandra-dayambudhih prakrtitah svairikrpa-rajjubhih
uddhrtyatma-saroja-nindi-carana-prantam prapadya svayam
sri-damodara-sac cakara tam aham caitanya-candram bhaje
"Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who, by His unreserved mercy, kindly saved me from household life, which is exactly like a blind well without water, and placed me in the ocean of transcendental joy under the care of Svarupa Damodara Gosvami."
