Cc Antya 14.25

দেখিযা গোবিন্দ আস্তেব্যস্তে স্ত্রীকে বর্জিলা তারে নামাইতে প্রভু গোবিন্দে নিষেধিলা

देखिया गोविन्द आस्तेव्यस्ते स्त्रीके वर्जिला तारे नामाइते प्रभु गोविन्दे निषेधिला

dekhiyā govinda āste-vyaste strīke varjilā tāre nāmāite prabhu govinde niṣedhilā

Translation

When he saw this, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's personal secretary, Govinda, hastily got her down from her position. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, however, chastised him for this.

Purport

Because Garuḍa is the carrier of Lord Viṣṇu, he is the supreme Vaiṣṇava. Therefore to touch his body with one's feet or to climb the column of Garuḍa is certainly a vaiṣṇava-aparādha, an offense to a Vaiṣṇava. The woman was also offensive to Kṛṣṇa by putting her foot on the shoulder of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Seeing all these offenses, Govinda very hastily made her get down.
