A Village Route Through Chatrabhoga

“He crossed Chatrabhoga, but instead of going on the general path, he proceeded on the path that went from village to village.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.185, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Raghunātha dāsa crossed Chatrabhoga and took a path from village to village instead of the general path.
  • The purport identifies Chatrabhoga as Chāḍa-khāḍi in the district of Twenty-four Parganas in West Bengal, near Jayanagara-majilapura.
  • The Ganges or some of its branches formerly flowed through this region. The purport distinguishes this place from a village on the Kāṅsāi-nadī in Benāpola with which it is sometimes confused.
