able; brahmana—brahmana; yaére—whom; safnge—with; /aiya—taking; kaila—did;

TRANSLATION
The twenty-second devotee, Krsnadasa, was born of a pure and respectable
brahmana family. While, touring southern India, Lord Caitanya took Krsnadasa
with Him.
PURPORT
Krsnadasa is described in the Madhya-lila, Chapters Seven and Nine. He went
with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to carry His water pot. In the Malabar state, members
of the Bhattathari cult tried to captivate Krsnadasa by supplying a woman to seduce
him, but although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu saved him from being harmed, when
they returned to Jagannatha Puri He asked Krsnadasa to remain there, for the Lord
was never favorably disposed toward an associate who was attracted by a woman.
Thus Krsnadasa lost the personal association of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
