When Lord Caitanya returned to Jagannatha Puri from His lengthy South Indian tour, all His devotees were overwhelmed with ecstatic eagerness to meet Him. Beginning from the right side of the lion gate, the main gate of the temple, all the Vaisnavas proceeded toward the house of Kasi Misra. 

Meanwhile Lord Caitanya, accompanied by His personal associates, met all the Vaisnavas on the road with great jubilation. First Advaita Acarya offered prayers to the lotus feet of the Lord, and the Lord immediately embraced Him in ecstatic love. Indeed, Lord Caitanya and Advaita Acarya displayed agitation due to ecstatic love. Seeing the time and circumstance, however, Lord Caitanya remained patient. 

After this Srivasa Thakura and all the other devotees offered prayers to the lotus feet of the Lord, and the Lord embraced each and every one of them in great love and ecstasy. The Lord addressed all the devotees one after another and took all of them with Him into the house. 

Since the residence of Kasi Misra was insufficient, all the assembled devotees were very overcrowded. Lord Caitanya made all the devotees sit at His side, and with His own hand He offered them garlands and sandalwood pulp.
