In CC 1.4.15-16 KDKG spoke about the reasons for the advent of the Lord Caitanya,
prema-rasa-niryāsa karite āsvādana
rāga-mārga bhakti loke karite pracāraṇa
rasika-śekhara kṛṣṇa parama-karuṇa
ei dui hetu haite icchāra udgama
and after presenting the different devotees of Vrindavan, related to prema-rasa-niryāsa, Sri Krishna says:
ei śuddha-bhakta lañā karimu avatāra
kariba vividha-vidha adbhuta vihāra
vaikuṇṭhādye nāhi ye ye līlāra pracāra
se se līlā kariba, yāte mora camatkāra
CC 1.4.28
Taking these pure devotees with me, I shall make My advent and I shall perform various kinds of wonderful pastimes, that were never manifested in Vaikuntha, lilas which cause amazement event to Me.
How?
The Lord answers in the next verse:
mo-viṣaye gopī-gaṇera upapati-bhāve
yoga-māyā karibeka āpana-prabhāve
CC 1.4.29
By the influence of yoga-maya the bhava of the gopis will be that I am the object of (their) love as an upapati.
āmiha nā jāni tāhā, nā jāne gopī-gaṇa
duńhāra rūpa-guṇe duńhāra nitya hare mana
CC 1.4.30
Neither the gopīs nor I shall notice that, for our minds will always be entranced by one another's beauty and qualities.
dharma chāḍi' rāge duńhe karaye milana
kabhu mile, kabhu nā mile, — daivera ghaṭana
CC 1.4.31
"Pure attachment will unite us even at the expense of moral and religious duties [dharma]. Destiny will sometimes bring us together and sometimes separate us.
ei saba rasa-niryāsa kariba āsvāda
ei dvāre kariba saba bhaktere prasāda
CC 1.4.32
I shall taste the essence of all these rasas, and in this way I shall favor all the devotees.
All these presentation were made there in CC 1.4 to understand that
in the same way Gaura took those devotees and advented in Nadiya to taste those rasas as in the next verse CC 1.4.39 delineated:
dui hetu avatari' lañā bhakta-gaṇa
āpane āsvāde prema-nāma-sańkīrtana
The Lord descended with His devotees with two intentions
- to tasted the nectar of prema and
- the congregational chanting of the holy name
Later in the same chapter Krishna Das Kaviraja gives a more precise explanation in CC1.4.222
śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya gosāñi vrajendra-kumāra
rasa-maya-mūrti kṛṣṇa sākṣāt śṛńgāra
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya is the child of King Nanda, the embodiment of rasas (of sringar rasa too, in parakya bhava) (Kishna) - the direct erotic love (śṛńgāra).
sei rasa āsvādite kaila avatāra
ānusańge kaila saba rasera pracāra
CC1.4.223
He appeared in this world
- to taste this rasa - erotic love (śṛńgāra) (usually interpreted as Radha bhava)-, (and)
- secondarily to preach all rasas.
To explain how Lord Gauranga tasted that rasa - erotic love (śṛńgāra)- , Krishna Das Kaviraja quotes in the very next verse directly from Gita-govinda 1.11, to show that it is not Radha bhava that he is referring to:
viśveṣām anurañjanena janayann ānandam indīvara-
śreṇī-śyāmala-komalair upanayann ańgair anańgotsavam
svacchandaḿ vraja-sundarībhir abhitaḥ praty-ańgam ālińgitaḥ
śṛńgāraḥ sakhi mūrtimān iva madhau mugdho hariḥ krīḍati
CC1.4.224
"My dear friends, just see how Śrī Kṛṣṇa is enjoying the season of spring! With the gopīs embracing each of His limbs, He is like amorous love personified. With His transcendental pastimes, He enlivens all the gopīs and the entire creation. With His soft bluish-black arms and legs, which resemble blue lotus flowers, He has created a festival for Cupid."
So Sri Caitanya will enjoy it (also) in this case "from the position of Krishna" in sringara rasa with the gopis (as extensively described by Locan Das in Dhamali).
