The  Caitanya-bhāgavata  states that Parameśvara dāsa, known sometimes as Parameśvarī dāsa, was the life and soul of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu.

The Āṭapura station is on the narrow gauge railway line between Howrah and Āmatā. Another temple in Āṭapura, established by the Mitra family, is known as the Rādhā-Govinda temple. In front of the temple, in a very attractive place among two  bakula  trees and a  kadamba  tree, is the tomb of Parameśvarī Ţhākura, and above it is an altar with a  tulasī  bush. It is said that only one flower a year comes out of the  kadamba  tree. It is offered to the Deity.
Parameśvarī Ţhākura belonged, it is said, to a  vaidya  family. A descendant of his brother is at present a worshiper in the temple. Some of their family members still reside in the district of Hugalī near the post office of Caṇḍītalā. The descendants of
