The sannyāsīs, they have got different titles. According to Śaṅkara-sampradāya, there are ten titles. And, according to Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya, there are 108 titles. So the ten titles which the Śaṅkara-sampradāya claim, that is also included in the Vaiṣṇava-sampradāya. They are called Sarasvatī, Bhāratī, er, I mean to say Vana, Araṇya—in this way, there are ten names. My Guru Mahārāja, my spiritual master, he was sannyāsī, and his title was Sarasvatī. Sarasvatī. So Sarasvatī, Bhāratī, Tīrtha, Vana, Araṇya, Parvata, just like so many titles. So there was a sannyāsī who was the chief amongst other sannyāsī. His name was Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī.

Now, offering respect to Lord Caitanya, he began to say:
- ihāṅ āisa, gosāi āisa, śunaha śrīpāda
- apavitra sthāne vaisa, kibā avasāda
- (CC Adi 7.63)
"O my dear Sir, why You are sitting so distant place and a filthy place? Please come here. Sit with us."
Prabhu kahe,—āmi ha-i hina-sampradāya (CC Adi 7.64). Now, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, because He heard the criticism by this Prakāśānanda Sarasvatī that "This Caitanya Mahāprabhu who has come in Benares, He is not very learned". Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu is replying him that "I belong to the lower-class sannyāsī. Therefore I am sitting in this filthy place. You better sit in higher places."
