After accepting the sannyāsa order, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, out of intense love for Kṛṣṇa, started for Vṛndāvana. However, He mistakenly wandered about in a trance continuously for three days in the tract of land known as Rāḍha-deśa.
Purport
The word Rāḍha-deśa comes from the word rāṣṭra, or "state." From rāṣṭra the perverted word rāḍha has come. The part of Bengal on the western side of the Ganges is known as Rāḍha-deśa. Another name is Pauṇḍra-deśa. The word pauṇḍra is a perverted form of the word peṅḍo. It appears that the capital of Rāṣṭra-deśa was situated in that part of Bengal.
