Text 63] The Lord Instructs Srila Rapa Gosvami 277

near the village named Canpa-jhara-grama, which is near a railway station named
Rajima in Madhya Pradesh.

After studying for eleven years at Varanasi, Vallabhacarya returned home. On
his return, he heard that his father had departed from the material world. Keeping
his brother and mother at home, he went to the banks of the River Tungabhadra
in a village called Vidyanagara, and it was there that he enlightened Krsnadeva,
the grandson of King Bukkaraja. After that, he traveled throughout India thrice on
trips lasting six years. Thus he passed eighteen years and became victorious in his
discussions of revealed scripture. When he was thirty years old, he married
Mahalaksmi, who belonged to the same brahmana community. Near Govardhana
Hill he established a Deity in the valley. Finally he came to Adaila, which is on the
other side of Prayaga.

Vallabhacarya had two sons, Gopinatha and Viththalesvara, and in his old age
he accepted the renounced order. In 1452 Sakabda Era, he passed away from the
material world at Varanasi. His book known as $odasa-grantha and his commen-
taries on Vedanta-stitra (Anubhasya) and Srimad-Bhagavatam (Subodhini) are very
famous. He has written many other books besides.
