स्वयंप्रकाशयोगीति कक्ष्चिदासीद्यतीक्ष्वरः |
बाल्यात्प्रभृति गोविन्दे प्रह्लाद इव भक्तिमान् ||
पठित्वा सर्वशास्त्राणि विचार्य च पुनः पुनः |
आददे श्रीभगवतं भक्तिज्ञानविरक्तिदम् ||

There was a yatishwara called Swayamprakasha Saraswati who was devoted to Lord Govinda from his childhood like Prahlada. He studied all the Shastras again and again. Finally he chose Shrimad Bhagavatam that confers on one Bhakti, Ghana and renunciation. He did not like to enter family life. The illustrious wise man's only desire was to conduct Bhagavata Saptaham all over India. Obeying his father's command, he had to enter married life though he considered the relationship with wife and children as a hindrance to his goal. His wife expired in a short time. He got dejected and left the house. In his twentieth year, he reached the stage of an avadoota. Having no ties, he roamed about like a foolish person or a lunatic or a spirit, rid of cares and worries. Looking at this young man roaming about as a digambara, the Brahmanas exhorted him to wear clothes.
