*śaṅkarāraṇya*—of the name Śaṅkarāraṇya; *ācārya-vṛkṣera*—of the tree of *ācāryas*; *eka*—one; *śākhā*—branch; *mukunda*—of the name Mukunda; *kāśīnātha*—of the name Kāśīnātha; *rudra*—of the name Rudra; *upaśākhā lekhā*—they are known as sub-branches.

**The ācārya Śaṅkarāraṇya was considered the forty-eighth branch of the original tree. From him proceeded sub-branches known as Mukunda, Kāśīnātha and Rudra.**

It is said that Śaṅkarāraṇya was the *sannyāsa* name of Śrīla Viśvarūpa, who was the elder brother of Viśvambhara (the original name of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu). Śaṅkarāraṇya expired in 1432 *śakābda* (A.D. 1512) at Sholapur, where there is a place of pilgrimage known as Pāṇḍerapura. This is referred to in the *Madhya-līlā,* Chapter Nine, verses 299 and 300.

Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu opened a primary school in the house of Mukunda, or Mukunda Sañjaya, and Mukunda's son, whose name was Puruṣottama, became the Lord's student. Kāśīnātha arranged the marriage of Lord Caitanya in His previous *āśrama,* when His name was Viśvambhara. He induced the court *paṇḍita,* Sanātana, to offer Viśvambhara his daughter. In the *Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā,* verse 50, it is mentioned that Kāśīnātha was an incarnation of Satrājit, who arranged the marriage of Kṛṣṇa and Satyā, and it is mentioned in verse 135 that Rudra, or Śrī Rudrarāma Paṇḍita, was formerly a friend of Lord Kṛṣṇa's named Varūthapa. Śrī Rudrarāma Paṇḍita constructed a big temple at Vallabhapura, which is one mile north of Māheśa, for the Deities named Rādhāvallabha. The descendants of his brother, Yadunandana Vandyopādhyāya, are known as Cakravartī Ṭhākuras, and they are in charge of the maintenance of this temple as *sevaits.* Formerly the Jagannātha Deity used to come to the temple of Rādhāvallabha from Māheśa during the Ratha-yātrā festival, but in the Bengali year 1262, due to a misunderstanding between the priests of the two temples, the Jagannātha Deity stopped coming.
