Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Ādi 7.149
সেই হৈতে সন্ন্যাসীর ফিরি গেল মন ।
‘কৃষ্ণ’ ‘কৃষ্ণ’ নাম সদা করয়ে গ্রহণ ॥ ১৪৯ ॥
sei haite sannyāsīra phiri gela mana
‘kṛṣṇa’ ‘kṛṣṇa’ nāma sadā karaye grahaṇa
From that moment when the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs heard the explanation of the Vedānta-sūtra from the Lord, their minds changed, and on the instruction of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they too chanted “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!” always.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Hearing the Lord's explanation of Vedānta-sūtra changed the sannyāsīs' minds. Following His instruction, they always chanted “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!”
Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī and Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī were different people. The purport rejects the idea that they were the same man.
Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī was a great Vaiṣṇava devotee belonging to the Rāmānuja-sampradāya. Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī headed the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs in Benares and belonged to the Śaṅkarācārya-sampradāya.
