When Lord Nityānanda Prabhu rebuked Śivānanda Sena, the nephews left in protest and went to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Understanding their feelings, the Lord asked Govinda to supply them prasādam until Śivānanda’s party arrived.
During the Ratha-yātrā saṅkīrtana festival, the two brothers belonged to the party led by Mukunda.
