224 Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta

Brahmananda Bharati. Brahmananda Bharati went to see Sri Krsna Caitanya
Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha-dhama. At that time he used to wear only a deerskin to
cover himself, and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu indirectly indicated that He did not
like this deerskin covering. Brahmananda Bharati therefore gave it up and accepted
a loincloth of saffron color as used by Vaisnava sannyasis. For some time he lived
with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri.
