Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 6.312
ছিণ্ডা কানি কাঁথা বিনা না পরে বসন ।
সাবধানে প্রভুর কৈলা আজ্ঞার পালন ॥ ৩১২ ॥
chiṇḍā kāni kāṅthā vinā nā pare vasana
sāvadhāne prabhura kailā ājñāra pālana
He never touched anything to wear except a small torn cloth and a patchwork wrapper. Thus he very rigidly executed the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Raghunātha dāsa wore only a small torn cloth and a patchwork wrapper. In this way, he rigidly carried out Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s order.
The spiritual master gives different orders to different people. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu ordered Jīva Gosvāmī, Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī to preach, and Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī to strictly follow the rules of the renounced order.
All six Gosvāmīs strictly followed Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s instructions. Strictly trying to execute the spiritual master’s order is the principle for progress and success in devotional service.
Śrīla Prabhupāda's own sentences, chosen from the purport as its central points. Read the full purport on Vedabase to see them in place.
Longing fulfilled. Raghunātha’s sustained desire for the Lord culminates in arrival, shelter, and renunciation.

This renounced life greatly pleased both Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. One day Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu took by force some of the same food, thus blessing Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī for his renunciation.Read the whole chapter summaryBack to this verse in Antya 6
