Śrī Sanātana, Śrī Rūpa and Anupama are described as branches on the western side and as the best of all.
Anupama was the younger brother of Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī and Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, and the father of Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī. His former name was Vallabha; Lord Caitanya gave him the name Anupama.
The three brothers received the title Mullik through their work in the Muslim government. Meaning “lord,” this title indicated wealth and respectability rather than membership in one particular family or caste.
