Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
PURPORT
There are four orders of spiritual life, namely,  brahmacarya ,  gṛhastha ,  vānaprastha  and  sannyāsa , and in each of these  āśramas  there are four divisions. The divisions of the  brahmacaryāśrama  are  sāvitrya ,  prājāpatya ,  brāhma  and  bṛhat , and the divisions of the  gṛhasthāśrama  are  vārtā  (professionals),  sañcaya  (accumulators),  śālīna  (those who do not ask anything from anyone) and  śiloñchana  (those who collect grains from the paddy fields). Similarly, the divisions of the  vānaprasthāśrama  are  vaikhānasa ,  bālikhilya ,  auḍumbara  and  pheṇapa , and the divisions of  sannyāsa  are  kuṭīcaka ,  bahūdaka ,  haṁsa  and  niṣkriya . There are two kinds of  sannyāsīs , who are called  dhīras  and  narottamas , as stated in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  (1.13.26-27). At the end of the month of January in the year 1432  śakābda , Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted the  sannyāsa  order from Keśava Bhāratī, who belonged to the Śaṅkara-sampradāya.
