suvarṇa-of gold; varṇaḥ-having the color; hema-aṅgaḥ-whose body was like molten gold; vara-aṅgaḥ-having a most beautiful body; candana-aṅgadī-whose body was smeared with sandalwood; sannyāsa-kṛt-practicing the renounced order of life; śamaḥ-equipoised; śāntaḥ-peaceful; niṣṭhā-devotion; śānti-and of peace; parāyaṇaḥ-the highest resort.
"In His early pastimes He appears as a householder with a golden complexion. His limbs are beautiful, and His body, smeared with the pulp of sandalwood, seems like molten gold. In His later pastimes He accepts the sannyāsa order, and He is equipoised and peaceful. He is the highest abode of peace and devotion, for He silences the impersonalist nondevotees."
Lord Caitanya accepted sannyāsa, leaving aside His householder life, to preach His mission. He has equanimity in different senses. First, He describes the confidential truth of the Personality of Godhead, and second, He satisfies everyone by knowledge and attachment to Kṛṣṇa. He is peaceful because He renounces all topics not related to the service of Kṛṣṇa. Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa has explained that the word niṣṭhā indicates His being rigidly fixed in chanting the holy name of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Lord Caitanya subdued all disturbing opponents of devotional service, especially the monists, who are actually averse to the personal feature of the Supreme Lord.
