TRANSLATION
The great devotee Govinda, Vani Krsnadasa, Punḍarikaksa, Īsana and Laghu Haridasa also accompanied him.
PURPORT
Laghu Haridasa should not be confused with Junior Haridasa, who committed suicide at Prayaga. Generally a devotee is called Haridasa, and consequently there are many Haridasas. The chief was Thakura Haridasa. There was also a Madhyama Haridasa.
In Bhakti-ratnakara (Sixth Wave), there is a list of many of the chief devotees who accompanied Srila Rūpa Gosvami.
