Svarūpa Dāmodara arrived the next day. He was a very intimate friend of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and an ocean of transcendental mellows.
In Śaṅkarācārya's disciplic succession, Svarūpa is a customary title for a brahmacārī assisting a sannyāsī designated Tīrtha or Āśrama.
Formerly Puruṣottama Ācārya of Navadvīpa, he took sannyāsa in Vārāṇasī from a sannyāsī designated Tīrtha. Although he should then have been called Tīrtha, he retained his brahmacārī title, Svarūpa.
