ihāre se bali yogya advaita-nandana
yena pitā tena putra, ucita milana
Jayapatākā Swami: Therefore, Acyutānanda is called the qualified son of Advaita. Like father like son, an exemplary combination of father and son.
So, this chapter elucidates the glories of Acyutānada. Having complete devotion to Lord Caitanya had made Acyutānanda very dear to all the devotees and made Advaita Ācārya very happy, and in fact Lord Caitanya also offered him special mercy. Like that we see how Acuytānanda has received the blessing of Nitāi-Gaura, Advaita Ācārya and all other associates.
