Text 8] Lord Caitanya at the House of Advaita Acarya 245

Mahdprabhu accepted Sridhara Svami, who was a tridandi-sannyasi, but the
Mayavadi sannyasis, not understanding Sridhara Svami, sometimes think that
Sridhara Svami belonged to the Mayavada ekadanda-sannyasa community.
Actually this was not the case.
