“All of Mahāprabhu’s bhaktas, Śrīvāsa and so forth, engage in service to Caitanya with their own respective bhāvas. Prabhu becomes captivated by Paṇḍita Gosāñi [i.e., Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī] and others by the respective rasas which they each have.”

“O Śrī Gadādhara! O recipient of the Son of Śacī’s love! O Manifestation of Gāndharvikā’s [i.e., Rādhikā’s] joy! O Embodiment of the essence of rasa! Please consider me like a particle of dust at your lotus feet and further your own glory, which is to be meditated upon by the wise.”

(Sādhanāmṛta-candrikā: 1.11)
“Ignorance and illusion are dispelled by just a particle of the effulgence of the tips of the nails of his lotus feet. Śrī Gaurakṛṣṇa himself is captivated by his sidelong glance of compassion. The moon of prema arises in the inner sky of [the hearts of] living beings by [even] a little service to him. I offer obeisance unto him, Śrīla Gadādhara, the preeminent desire-tree of incomparable bliss.”
