TRANSLATION
PURPORT
In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, verse 167, it is mentioned, gunamala vraje yasid damayanti tu tat-svasa: "The gopi named Gunamala has now appeared as his sister Damayanti." On the East Bengal railway line beginning from the Sealdah station in Calcutta, there is a station named Sodapura which is not very far from Calcutta. Within one mile of this station, toward the western side of the Ganges, is a village known as Panihati in which the residential quarters of Raghava Pandita still exist. On Raghava Pandita's tomb is a creeper on a concrete platform. There is also a Madana-mohana Deity in a broken-down temple nearby. This temple is managed by a local Zamindar of the name Sri Sivacandra Raya Caudhuri. Makaradhvaja Kara was also an inhabitant of Panihati.
