Śrī-Caitanya-caritāmṛta
The village Ambikā-kālanā, which is situated just across the River Ganges from Śāntipura, is two miles east of the Kālanākorṭa railway station on the eastern railway. In Ambikā-kālanā there is a temple constructed by the Zamindar of Burdwan. In front of the temple there is a big tamarind tree, and it is said that Gaurīdāsa Paṇḍita and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu met underneath this tree. The place where the temple is situated is known as Ambikā, and because it is in the area of Kālanā, the village is known as Ambikā-kālanā. It is said that a copy of  Bhagavad-gītā  written by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu still exists in this temple.
