Being the embodiment of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's ecstatic love, Rupa Gosvami was naturally very beautiful. He very carefully followed the principles enunciated by the Lord, and he was a competent person to explain properly the pastimes of Lord Krsna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu expanded His mercy to Srila Rupa Gosvami just so he could render service by writing transcendental literatures." (Cc Madhya 19.121) Also it was Svarupa Damodara who explained why Rupa Goswami could understand the innermost devotional ecstacies of Lord Caitanya.
