তপন-মিশ্রের ঘরে ভিক্ষা-নির্বাহণ ।
সন্ন্যাসীর সঙ্গে নাহি মানে নিমন্ত্রণ ॥ ৪৬ ॥

tapana-misrera ghare bhiksa-nirvahana

sannyasira saṅge nahi mane nimantrana

SYNONYMS

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

TRANSLATION

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.

This exemplary behavior of Lord Caitanya definitely proves that a Vaisnava sannyasi cannot accept invitations from Mayavadi sannyasis nor intimately mix with them.
