PURPORT
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  at Śolāpura, 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 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 Bandyopādhyāya, are known as Cakravartī Thākuras, and they are in charge of the maintenance of this temple as  sevāits . Formerly the Jagannātha Deity used to come to the temple of Rādhāvallabha from Māheśa during the Rathayātrā festival, but in the Bengali year 1262, due to a misunderstanding between the priests of the two temples, the Jagannātha Deity stopped coming.
