TRANSLATION
“1 shall continuously recite the Vedanta philosophy before Caitanya
Mahaprabhu so that He may remain fixed in His renunciation and thus enter
upon the path of monism.”
PURPORT
According to Sarvabhauma Bhattacdrya, among sannydsis the cultivation of
Vedanta philosophy helps in becoming detached from sense gratification. Thus a
sannydsi can protect the prestige of wearing a loincloth (kaupina). One has to
practice sense control as well as mind control and subdue the six forces of speech,
mind, anger, tongue, belly and genitals. Then one can become expert in under-
standing the devotional service of the Lord and thus become a perfect sannydsi.
For that purpose one must cultivate knowledge and renunciation regularly. When
one is attached to material sense gratification, he cannot protect his sannydsa
order. Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya suggested that by the study of vairdgya (renun-
ciation), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu might be saved from the clutches of full-
fledged youthful desires.
