TRANSLATION

When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees approached him, they saw that he was covered with a deerskin. Seeing this, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu became very unhappy.

PURPORT

Brahmananda Bharati belonged to the Sahkara-sampradaya. The title bharati indicates one of the ten sannyasis in the Sahkara-sampradaya. It is customary for a person who has renounced the world to cover his body with a deerskin or the bark of a tree. This is enjoined by Manu-samhita. However, if a sannyasi who has renounced the world simply wears a deerskin and does not spiritually advance, he is simply puffed up and conceited. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not like to see Brahmananda Bharati wearing a deerskin.
