Swami discusses Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila, Chapter 10, which describes Mahaprabhu's return to Puri after two years of traveling in South India. Among the topics elaborated on in this wide-ranging lecture are the conversion of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya from dry logician to rasika devotee, the longing of the king of Orissa for Mahaprabhu's association, the significance of Ramananda samvada as the theological climax of the Caitanya-caritamrta and its parallelism with Bhagavad-gita, and the story of Kala Krsnadasa.
