A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Among all the inhabitants of Vraja, Srimati Radharani is the dearest of all. Srila Rupa Goswami is the most confidential servitor of Srimati Radharani, and is therefore very dear to Lord Caitanya. The followers of the footsteps of Srila Rupa Goswami are known as the Rupanuga devotees of Sri Krsna. Such Rupanuga devotees are eulogized in the Sri Caitanya-candramrta (127) as follows:
- astam vairagya-kotir bhavatu
- sama-dama-ksanti-maitry-adi-kotis
- tattvanudhyana-kotir bhavatu
- va vaisnavi bhakti-kotih
- koty-amso 'py asya na syat tad api
- guna-gano yah svatah-siddha aste
- srimac-caitanyacandra-priya-carana-
- nakha-jyotir amoda-bhajam
"Persons who are attached to the rays of the effulgent nails on the toes of the lotus feet of the beloved and dear devotees of Lord Caitanya are by themselves fully qualified with all transcendental qualities. Even powerful renunciation, equanimity, sense control, fortitude, meditation, and similar other great qualities that are found in the devotees of Visnu do not compare to even one-millionth of a part of their transcendental attributes."
