Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports to Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila, Tenth Chapter, describing how Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu tasted the prasada offered by His devotees.

The Passing of Haridasa Thakura The summary of the chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows.

In this chapter, Brahma Haridasa Thakura gave up his body with the consent of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and the Lord Himself personally performed the funeral ceremony and carried the body to the sea.

He personally entombed the body, covered it with sand, and erected a platform on the site.

After taking bath in the sea, He personally begged prasada of Jagannatha from shopkeepers and distributed prasada to the assembled devotees.
