TRANSLATION
The thirty-sixth branch, Buddhimanta Khan, was extremely dear to Lord Caitanya
Mahdaprabhu. He was always prepared to carry out the Lord’s orders, and therefore
he was considered to be a chief servant of the Lord.
PURPORT
Srt Buddhimanta Khan was one of the inhabitants of Navadvipa. He was very
rich, and it is he who arranged for the marriage of Lord Caitanya with Visnupriya,
the daughter of Sanatana Misra, who was the priest of the local Zamindar. He
personally defrayed all the expenditures for the marriage ceremony. When Lord
Caitanya Mahaprabhu was attacked by vayu-vyddhi (derangement of the air within
the body) Buddhimanta Khan paid for all requisite medicines and treatments to
cure the Lord. He was the Lord’s constant companion in the kirtana movement. He
collected ornaments for the Lord when He played the part of the goddess of fortune
in the house of Candragekhara Acarya. He also went to see Lord Caitanya Maha-
prabhu when He was staying at Jagannatha Puri.
