50 Sit Caitanya-caritamrta [Adi-lila, Ch. 12

Radhavallabha Cakravarti, who now live in the district of Birbhum. They profession-
ally recite songs from Caitanya-marigala. \t is said that when Mangala Thakura was
constructing a road from Bengal to Jagannatha Puri, he found a Deity of
Radhavallabha while digging a lake. At that time he was living in the locality of
Kandada in the village named Ranipura. The sd/agrdma-sild personally worshiped
by Marigala Thakura still exists in the village of Kaftdada. A temple has been con-
structed there for the worship of Vrndavana-candra. Mangala Thakura had three
sons—Radhikaprasada, Gopiramana and Syamakisora. The descendants of these
three sons are still living.
