From Nityananda Prabhu, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu heard the story of
Ksira-curi Gopinatha and of the witness Gopala. Then Nityananda Prabhu
broke the sannydsa rod belonging to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

PURPORT

This Ksira-curi Gopinatha is situated about five miles away from the
Balesvara station on the Northeastern Railway, formerly known as the Bengal-
Mayapura Railway. This station is situated a few miles away from the famous
Kargapura Junction station. Sometimes the charge of the temple was given to
Syamasundara Adhikari from Gopivallabhapura, which lies on the border of
the district of Medinipura. Syamasundara Adhikari was a descendant of
Rasikananda Murari, the chief disciple of Syamananda Gosvami.

A few miles before the Jagannatha Puri station is a small station called Sak-
si-gopala. Near this station is a village named Satyavadi, where the temple of
Saksi-gopala is situated.
