TRANSLATION
The two brothers Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita and Śrī Rāma Paṇḍita started two branches that are well known in the world.
PURPORT
In the  Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā , verse 90, Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita is described to be an incarnation of Nārada Muni, and Śrī Rāma Paṇḍita, his younger brother, is said to be an incarnation of Parvata Muni, a great friend of Nārada's. Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita's wife, Mālinī, is celebrated as an incarnation of the nurse Ambikā, who fed Lord Kṛṣṇa with her breast milk, and as already noted, his niece Nārāyaṇī, the mother of Thākura Vṛndāvana dāsa, the author of  Caitanya-bhāgavata , was the sister of Ambikā in  kṛṣṇa-līlā . We also understand from the description of  Caitanya-bhāgavata  that after Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu's acceptance of the  sannyāsa  order, Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita left Navadvīpa, possibly because of feelings of separation, and domiciled at Kumārahaṭṭa.
