Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
Sometimes Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu chastised Mukunda Datta by calling him  kharihatia beta  because he attended many functions held by different classes of non-devotees. This is stated in  Caitanya-bhāgavata ,  Madhya-līlā , Chapter Ten. When Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu dressed Himself as the goddess of fortune to dance in the house of Candraśekhara, Mukunda Datta began the first song.
Before disclosing His desire to take the renounced order of life, Lord Caitanya first went to the house of Mukunda Datta, but at that time Mukunda Datta requested Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to continue His  saṅkīrtana  movement for a few days more before taking  sannyāsa . This is stated in  Caitanya-bhāgavata ,  Madhya-līlā , Chapter Twenty-five. The information of Lord Caitanya's accepting the renounced order was made known to Gadādhara Paṇḍita, Candraśekhara Ācārya and Mukunda Datta by Nityānanda Prabhu, and therefore all of them went to Katwa and arranged for  kīrtana  and all the paraphernalia for Lord Caitanya's acceptance of  sannyāsa . After the Lord took  sannyāsa , they all followed Him, especially Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, Gadādhara Prabhu and Govinda, who followed Him all the way to Puruṣottama-kṣetra. In this connection one may refer to  Antya-līlā , Chapter Two. In the place known as Jaleśvara, Nityānanda Prabhu broke the  sannyāsa  rod of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Mukunda Datta was also present at that time. He went every year from Bengal to see Lord Caitanya at Jagannātha Purī.
