Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami gives a whole chapter of Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita to the last days of Srila Haridasa Thakura (Haridāsa Ṭhākura). It is the eleventh chapter of the Antya-lila, called "The Passing of Haridāsa Ṭhākura". He tells it slowly, almost hour by hour, because here the love of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu for His devotee is seen in full. The chapter's very first verse already holds the whole story:
Ananta Caturdaśī
A vow in worship of Lord Ananta, the Lord who has no end.
Cāturmāsya
Last day of the second month
The four months of the rainy season are kept as a vow of simple living. In the first month devotees give up leafy vegetables, in the second yogurt, in the third milk and in the fourth urad dal.
