PURPORT

As stated in the Śākhā-nirṇayāmṛta:

amogha-paṇḍitaḿ vande śrī-gaureṇātma-sātkṛtam

prema-gadgada-sāndrāńgaḿ pulakākula-vigraham

"I offer my obeisances unto Amogha Paṇḍita, who was accepted by Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. As a result of this acceptance, he was always merged in ecstatic love, and he manifested ecstatic symptoms such as choking of the voice and standing of the hairs on his body."
