sri caitanya mano’bhīṣṭam (Mahaprabhu´s innermost heart’s desire) => unnatojjvala-rasāṁ sva-bhakti-śriyam (the highest aspect of madhura prema rasa) => tat-tad-bhava-icchatmika ( the desire or longing for relishing the sweetness of the sweet sentiments or bhavas of the Vraja gopis) => radha snehadika (a love with more inclination towards Radhika) => mañjarī-bhāva

caitanya mano’bhīṣṭaṁ sthāpitaṁ yena bhūtale so’yaṁ rūpa kadā mahyaṁ dadāti sva padāntikam (2)

“When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, who established the wish on Śrī Caitanya’s mind on the surface of the earth, give me a place at his lotus feet?”

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartīpāda’s ṭīkā: śrī caitanya mahāprabhor mano’bhīṣṭaṁ mano’bhilaṣitaṁ śrīmad bhagavad bhakti rasa śāstraṁ bhūtale yeno rūpeṇa sthāpitaṁ nirūpitam. sa svayaṁ rūpaḥ svapadāntikaṁ nija caraṇa nikaṭaṁ kadā bhāgya vaśena mahyaṁ dadāti. śrī rūpasya kṛpayā nijānucaratvena tat sevana karma karavāṇīti bhāvaḥ

 

Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartīpāda has written in his commentary on this verse: śrī caitanya mahāprabhor mano’bhīṣṭaṁ mano’bhilaṣitaṁ śrīmad bhagavad bhakti rasa śāstraṁ bhūtale yeno rūpeṇa sthāpitaṁ nirūpitam: “Śrī Rūpa established this desire of Śrī Caitanya on the surface of the earth in the form of his bhagavad-bhakti rasa-śāstras.” The purport of this is that, although in the pre-Caitanya era different bhakti rasa śāstras were written, the special gift of Śrīman Mahāprabhu in the form of brilliant amorous devotion in allegiance to the beautiful girls of Vraja is now being preached to the world by Śrīmad Rūpa Gosvāmīpāda in his books Bhakti Rasāmṛta Sindhu, Ujjvala Nīlamaṇi, Vidagdha Mādhava, Lalita Mādhava Nāṭaka, Stavamālā and so. That amorous mellow of Vraja that was previously inaccessible to Brahmā, Śiva, Uddhava and others, is now, by Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s grace, described by the mantra-draṣṭā ṛṣi (wise seer) of vraja rasa, Śrīmad Rūpa Gosvāmīpāda, in his rasika books and dramas, made relishable for all ordinary persons in the age of Kali.

Śrīla Ṭhākura Mahāśaya says: so’yaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ dadāti sva padāntikam — When will Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmīpāda bring me close to his lotus feet?” Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartīpāda has written the following comment on this line:
sa svayaṁ rūpaḥ sva padāntikaṁ nija caraṇa nikaṭaṁ kadā bhāgya vaśena mahyaṁ dadāti. śrī rūpasya kṛpayā nijānucaratvena tat sevana karma karavān iti bhāvaḥ –
“When will that Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmīpāda make me so fortunate that I can live close to his lotus feet? When will I be blessed to be engaged in Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa’s loving service as a follower of Śrī Rūpa, by his grace and on his order?”

In Vraja-līlā Śrīmat Rūpa Gosvāmīpāda is the leader of all mañjarīs, Śrī Rūpa Mañjarī. She has descended as Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s beloved associate to preach the confidential truths of mañjarī bhāva practice, that are so dear to and desired for by Śrīman Mahāprabhu, in this world, and to bless everyone by taking them along to the secret bower-palaces of Vraja and granting them Śrī-Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava’s loving service. Hence the sādhakas that wish to attain the loving service of Śrī-Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava in mañjarī bhāva on the path of rāgānugā, follow the Gosvāmīs like Śrī Rūpa-Sanātana in their present practitioner’s bodies and render service in their mentally conceived siddha dehas in allegiance to Śrī Rūpa Mañjarī and others. By constantly staying with them, even in the stage of perfection, and rendering service to their chosen deities according to their orders they will become blessed. In his Prārthanā pada Śrīla Ṭhākura Mahāśaya has shed clear light on this matter — prabhu lokanātha kobe saṅge loyā jābe; śrī rūpera pāda-padme more samarpibe

“When will my master Lokanātha Gosvāmī take me along and submit me to Śrī Rūpa (Gosvāmī or mañjarī)’s lotus feet?”
