Ādi-līlā, Chapter 11
379
present, a picture of Uddhāraṇa Datta Thākura is worshiped. It is understood, however, that the wooden Deity of Uddhāraṇa Thākura was taken away by Śrī Madana-mohana Datta and is now being worshiped with a  śālagrāma-śilā  by Śrīnātha Datta.
Uddhāraṇa Datta Thākura was the manager of the estate of a big Zamindar in Naihāṭī, about one and a half miles north of Katwa. The relics of this royal family are still visible near the Dāiṅhāṭa station. Since Uddhāraṇa Datta Thākura was the manager of the estate, it was also known as Uddhāraṇa-pura. Uddhāraṇa Datta Thākura installed Nitāi-Gaura Deities that were later brought to the house of the Zamindar, which was known as Vanaoyārībāḍa. Śrīla Uddhāraṇa Datta Thākura remained a householder throughout his life. His father's name was Śrīkara Datta, his mother's name was Bhadrāvatī, and his son's name was Śrīnivāsa Datta.
