tapana-misrera ghare bhiksa-nirvahana

sannyasira sange nahi mane nimantrana

SYNONYMS

tapana-misrera—of Tapana Misra; ghare—in the house; bhiksa—accepting food; nirvahana—regularly executed; sannyasira—with other Mayavadi sannyasis; sange—in company with them; nahi—never; mane—accepted; nimantrana—invitation.

As a matter of principle, Lord Caitanya regularly accepted His food at the house of Tapana Misra.

He never mixed with other sannyasis, nor did He accept invitations from them.

PURPORT

This exemplary behavior of Lord Caitanya definitely proves that a Vaisnava sannyasi cannot accept invitations from Mayavadi sannyasis or intimately mix with them.
