Both these daughters married, and they are mentioned in  Bhakti-ratnākara , Chapter Thirteen. Vīrabhadra Gosāñi had three disciples who are celebrated as his sons—Gopijana-vallabha, Rāmakṛṣṇa and Rāmacandra. The youngest, Rāmacandra, belonged to the Śāṇḍilya dynasty and had the surname Vaṭavyāla. He established his family at Khaḍadaha, and its members are known as the  gosvāmīs  of Khaḍadaha. The eldest disciple, Gopijana-vallabha, was a resident of a village known as Latā near the Mānakara railway station in the district of Burdwan. The second, Rāmakṛṣṇa, lived near Māladaha in a village named Gayeśapura. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura notes that since these three disciples belonged to different  gotras , or dynasties, and also had different surnames and lived in different places, it is not possible to accept them as real sons of Vīrabhadra Gosāñi. Rāmacandra had four sons, of whom the eldest was Rādhāmādhava, whose third son was named Yādavendra. Yādavendra's son was Nandakiśora, his son was Nidhikṛṣṇa, his son was Caitanyacāṇḍa, his son was Kṛṣṇamohana, his son was Jaganmohana, his son was Vrajanātha, and his son was Śyāmalāla Gosvāmī. This is the genealogical table given by Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura for the descendants of Vīrabhadra Gosāñi.
