He met me on the road as I was going to the Indrayani; know that he laid his hand on my head. He asked me for a little butter to eat; I fell into a dream and forgot him—somehow a difficulty arose, so he grew impatient and went away. Raghava Chaitanya, Kesava, Chaitanya—he told me these names to indicate his teachers; he told me his own name was Babaji, and gave me as a mantra Rama Krishna Hari. It was Thursday the tenth of Magha; finding it auspicious he received me into the order, says Tuka.
