Translation
When Nityānanda Prabhu was ordered to go to Bengal to preach, these two devotees [Śrī Rāmadāsa and Gadādhara dāsa] were ordered to go with Him. Thus they are sometimes counted among the devotees of Lord Caitanya and sometimes among the devotees of Lord Nityānanda. Similarly, Mādhava and Vāsudeva Ghosh belonged to both groups of devotees simultaneously.
Purport
There is a place named Dāṅihāṭa near the Agradvīpa railway station and Pāṭuli in the district of Burdwan where the Deity of Śrī Gopīnāthajī is still situated. This Deity accepted Govinda Ghosh as His father. Even until today, the Deity performs the śrāddha ceremony on the anniversary of the death of Govinda Ghosh. The temple of this Deity is managed by the rājavaṁśa family of Kṛṣṇanagara, whose members are descendants of Rājā Kṛṣṇacandra. Every year in the month of vaiśākha, when there is a bāradola ceremony, this Gopīnātha Deity is taken to Kṛṣṇanagara. The ceremony is performed with eleven other Deities, and then Śrī Gopīnāthajī is again brought back to the temple in Agradvīpa.
