Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya saw Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as meek, humble and beautiful. His affection for Him increased.
The Lord accepted sannyāsa from Keśava Bhāratī in the Bhāratī sampradāya, where brahmacārīs, the assistants of sannyāsīs, are named “Caitanya.”
Even after accepting sannyāsa, He retained “Caitanya,” meaning a humble servant of a sannyāsī. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya greatly appreciated this.
