PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s elder brother was named Visvarupa.

He left home before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and accepted the sannyasa order under the name of Sankararanya Svami.

He traveled all over the country and finally went to Pandarapura, where he passed away after attaining perfection.

In other words, he entered the spiritual world after giving up his mortal body at Pandarapura.

Sri Ranga Puri, a disciple of Sri Madhavendra Puri and godbrother of Isvara Puri, disclosed this important news to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
