"Jagadananda Pandita [as an incarnation of Satyabhama] always wanted to see to the comfort of Lord Caitanya, but since the Lord was a sannyasi He did not accept the luxuries that Jagadananda Pandita offered."

Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi lila 10:12

"A summary of the Twelfth Chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows. This chapter discusses the transformations of ecstatic love that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu exhibited day and night. The devotees from Bengal again journeyed to Jagannatha Puri to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. As usual, the leader was Sivananda Sena, who traveled with his wife and children. Because arrangements were delayed en route and Lord Nityananda did not have a suitable place to reside, He became somewhat disturbed. Thus He became very angry with Sivananda Sena, who was in charge of the affairs of the party, and kicked him in loving anger. Sivananda Sena felt highly favored to have been kicked by Nityananda Prabhu, but his nephew Srikanta Sena became upset and therefore left their company. He met Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri before the rest of the party arrived.

That year a devotee named Paramesvara dasa Modaka also went with his family to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri. The devotees often invited Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to eat with them. When the Lord bade them all farewell, He talked very pleasingly with them. The year before, Jagadananda Pandita had been sent to Sacimata with prasada and cloth. This year he returned to Puri with a big pot of floral-scented oil to massage the Lord's head. The Lord, however, would not accept the oil, and because of His refusal, Jagadananda Pandita broke the pot in front of Him and began to fast. The Lord tried to pacify him and asked Jagadananda Pandita to cook for Him. Jagadananda Pandita became so pleased when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted his cooking that he broke his fast."

Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya lila, Chapter 12 Summary

"Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the following summary of the Thirteenth Chapter in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Thinking Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to be uncomfortable sleeping on bark of plantain trees, Jagadananda made a pillow and quilt for Him. The Lord, however, did not accept them. Then Svarupa Damodara Gosvami made another pillow and quilt from finely shredded plantain leaves, and after strongly objecting, the Lord accepted them. With the permission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Jagadananda Pandita went to Vrndavana, where he discussed many devotional subjects with Sanatana Gosvami. There was also a discussion about Mukunda Sarasvati's garment. When Jagadananda returned to Jagannatha Puri, he presented Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu some gifts from Sanatana Gosvami, and the incident of the pilu fruit took place."

Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya lila, Chapter 13 Summary

"Every year, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked Jagadananda Pandita to visit His mother in Navadvipa with gifts of cloth and prasada. After one such visit, Jagadananda Pandita returned to Puri with a sonnet that Advaita Acarya had written. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu read it, His ecstasy was so great that all the devotees feared that the Lord would very soon pass away. The Lord's condition was so serious that at night He would bruise and bloody His face by rubbing it against the walls. To stop this, Svarupa Damodara asked Sankara pandita to stay at night in the same room with the Lord."
