Translation
"A Vaiṣṇava travels to places of pilgrimage to purify them and reclaim fallen conditioned souls. This is one of the duties of a Vaiṣṇava. Actually, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is not a living entity but the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. Consequently, He is a fully independent controller, yet in His position as a devotee, He carries out the activities of a devotee."
Purport
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura points out that because there are many permanent residents in holy places who do not precisely follow the rules and regulations governing living in a sacred place, exalted devotees have to go to these places to reclaim them. This is the business of a Vaiṣṇava. A Vaiṣṇava is unhappy to see others materially enmeshed. Although Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is the worshipable Deity of all Vaiṣṇavas, the activities of a Vaiṣṇava were taught by Him. Nonetheless, He is the complete and independent Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is pūrṇaḥ śuddho nitya-muktaḥ. He is complete, completely uncontaminated and eternal. He is sanātana, for He has no beginning or end.
