About eight or ten miles from Calcutta on the banks of the Ganges is a village
known as Endiyadaha-grama. Srila Gadadhara dasa was known as an inhabitant
of this village (efdivyddaha-vadsi gadddhara dasa). The Bhakti-ratnakara, Seventh
Chapter, .informs us that after the disappearance of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu,
Gadadhara dasa came from Navadvipa to Katwa. Thereafter he came to Endiyadaha
and resided there. He is stated to be the luster of the body of Srimati Radharani,
just as Srila Gadadhara Pandita Gosvami is an incarnation of Srimati Radharani
