TRANSLATION
Gopinatha Acarya reminded Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, "My dear Bhattacarya, what I foretold to you has now taken place."
PURPORT
Previously Gopinatha Acarya had informed Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya that when he would be blessed by the Lord he would thoroughly understand the transcendental process of devotional service. This prediction was now fulfilled. The Bhattacarya was fully converted to the cult of Vaisnavism, and he was following the principles automatically, without being pressured. in the Bhagavad-gita (2.40) it is therefore said, svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat: "Simply by performing a little devotional service, one can escape the greatest danger." Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya had been in the greatest danger because he had adhered to Mayavada philosophy. Somehow or other he came into contact with Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and became a perfect devotee. In this way he was saved from the great falldown of impersonalism.
