Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
Brahmānanda Bhāratī.  Brahmānanda Bhāratī went to see Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu at Jagannātha-dhāma. At that time he used to wear only a deerskin to cover himself, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu indirectly indicated that He did not like this deerskin covering. Brahmānanda Bhāratī therefore gave it up and accepted a loincloth of saffron color as used by Vaiṣṇava  sannyāsīs . For some time he lived with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu at Jagannātha Purī.
