Ššri Caitanya -caritāmrta
[[Madhva-lilā. Ch. 3]
PURPORT
In this connection, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭākura says that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted the  sannyāsa  order and recommended the determination of the Avantīpura  bhikṣu  to engage in the service of Mukunda. He accepted the  brāhmaṇa's  version due to his determination to serve Mukunda. The  sannyāsī  dress is actually an attraction for material formality. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not like such formality, but He wanted the essence of it—service to Mukunda. Such determination in any condition is  parātma-niṣṭhā . That is required. The conclusion is that the  sannyāsa  order depends not on the dress but the determination to serve Mukunda.
