Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Madhya 3.106
বহুত নাচাইলে তুমি, ছাড় নাচান ।
মুকুন্দ-হরিদাস লইয়া করহ ভোজন ॥ ১০৬ ॥
bahuta nācāile tumi, chāḍa nācāna
mukunda-haridāsa la-iyā karaha bhojana
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, “Advaita Ācārya, You have made Me dance in various ways. Now give up this practice. Go with Mukunda and Haridāsa and accept Your lunch.”

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu told Advaita Ācārya that such comforts as nice beds, cloves, cardamom, and sandalwood pulp were not befitting for a sannyāsī.
Accepting fragrant garlands and having His legs massaged by a pure Vaiṣṇava were also not befitting for Him.
Mahāprabhu said that Advaita Ācārya had already made Him dance according to His vow. He asked Him to stop and take lunch with Mukunda and Haridāsa.
