Ādi 10.62

Caitanya dasa, the eldest son of Sivananda Sena, wrote a commentary on Krsna-karnamrta which was later translated by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his paper Sajjana-tosani. According to expert opinion, Caitanya dasa was the author of the book Caitanya-carita, which was written in Sanskrit. The author was not Kavikarnapura, as generally supposed. This is the opinion of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura. Sri Ramadasa was the second son of Sivananda Sena. It is stated in the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (145) that two experienced servants of Lord Krsna named Suka and Daksa in krsna-lila became the elder brothers of Kavikarnapura, namely, Caitanya dasa and Ramadasa. Karnapura, the third son, who was also known as Paramananda dasa or Puridasa, was initiated by Srinatha Pandita, who was a disciple of Sri Advaita Prabhu. Karnapura wrote many books that are important in Vaisnava literature, such as Ananda-vrndavana-campu, Alaṅkara-kaustubha, Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika and the great epic Caitanya-candrodaya-nataka. He was born in the year sakabda 1448. He continually wrote books for ten years, from 1488 until 1498.
