Shuklambara Brahmachari was the incarnation of one of the yajna-patnis who gave food in charity to Krishna and His friends. Lord Chaitanya was accustomed to eating food He had begged from Shuklambara Brahmachari. Some say that Shuklambara Brahmachari was not one of the yajna-patnis, but one of their husbands, the yajnika-brahmanas.
