People gathered to see the Lord for five consecutive days, leaving Him no rest. Out of fear of the crowd, He left at night for Kuliyā.
The purport identifies present-day Navadvīpa as the former Kuliyā-grāma. Traveling there from Vidyānagara then required crossing a branch of the Ganges.
At Kuliyā-grāma, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu favored Devānanda Paṇḍita. He also delivered Gopāla Cāpala and many others who had previously committed offenses at His lotus feet.
