PURPORT
The  Caitanya-bhāgavata ,  Antya-līlā , Chapter Five, states that Raghunātha Vaidya came to see Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu when the Lord was staying at Pāṇihāṭi. He was a great devotee and had all good qualities. According to the  Caitanya-bhāgavata , he was formerly Revatī, the wife of Balarāma. Anyone he glanced upon would immediately attain Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He lived on the seashore at Jagannātha Purī and compiled a book of the name  Sthāna-nirūpaṇa .
