Text 206] The Lord’s Attempt to Go to Vrndavana 259

TRANSLATION

The Lord stayed at Raghava Pandita’s place for only one day. The next
morning, He went to Kumarahatta, where Srivasa Thakura lived.

PURPORT

The present name of Kumarahatta is Halisahara. After Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
accepted sannydsa, Srivasa Thakura—due to separation from Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu—left Navadvipa and went to Halisahara to live.

From Kumarahatta, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to Kaficanapalli (known as
Kanicadapada), where Sivananda Sena lived. After staying two days at Sivananda’s
house, the Lord went to the house of Vasudeva Datta. From there He went to the
western side of Navadvipa to the village called Vidyanagara. From Vidyanagara
He went to Kuliya-grama and stayed at Madhava dasa’s house. He stayed there
one week and excused the offenses of Devananda and others. Due to Kaviraja
Gosvami's mentioning the name of Santipuracdrya, some people think that Kuliya
is a village near KaNcadapada. Due to this mistaken idea, they invented another
place known as New Kuliyara Pata. Actually such a place does not exist. Leaving
the house of Vasudeva Datta, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to the house of
Advaita Acarya. From there He went to the western side of Navadvipa to
Vidyanagara and stayed at the house of Vidya-vacaspati. These accounts are
given in the Caitanya-bhagavata, Caitanya-mangala, Caitanya-candrodaya-nataka
and Caitanya-carita-kavya. Srila Kaviraja Gosvami has not vividly described this
entire tour; therefore, on the basis of Caitanya-caritamrta, some unscrupulous
people have invented a place called Kuliyara Pata near Kancadapada.
