The acarya Saṅkararanya was considered the forty-eighth branch of the original tree. From him proceeded sub-branches known as Mukunda, Kasinatha and Rudra.
PURPORT
It is said that Saṅkararanya was the sannyasa name of Srila Visvarupa, who was the elder brother of Visvambhara (the original name of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu). Saṅkararanya expired in 1432 sakabda at Solapura, where there is a place of pilgrimage known as Panderapura. This is referred to in the Madhya-lila, Chapter Nine, verses 299 and 300.
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu opened a primary school in the house of Mukunda, or Mukunda Sanjaya, and Mukunda's son, whose name was Purusottama, became the Lord's student. Kasinatha arranged the marriage of Lord Caitanya in His previous asrama, when His name was Visvambhara. He induced the court pandita, Sanatana, to offer Visvambhara his daughter. In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, verse 50, it is mentioned that Kasinatha was an incarnation of Satrajit, who arranged the marriage of Krsna and Satya, and it is mentioned in verse 135 that Rudra, or Sri Rudrarama Pandita, was formerly a friend of Lord Krsna named Varuthapa. Sri Rudrarama Pandita constructed a big temple at Vallabhapura, which is one mile north of Mahesa, for the Deities named Radhavallabha. The descendants of his brother, Yadunandana Bandyopadhyaya, are known as Cakravarti Thakuras, and they are in charge of the maintenance of this temple as sevaits. Formerly the Jagannatha Deity used to come to the temple of Radhavallabha from Mahesa during the Rathayatra festival, but in the Bengali year 1262, due to a misunderstanding between the priests of the two temples, the Jagannatha Deity stopped coming.
