Trayodaśī, Gaura (bright) pakṣa Pauṣa (Nārāyaṇa) māsa Nakṣatra: Mṛgaśirā
Appearance day of Srila Jagadisha Pandit
The Fifteenth Branch of Sri Nityananda Prabhu's Family Tree
- Appeared
- Not recorded
- Place
- Disputed: Nadia district, Bengal (per Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura's Anubhasya) or Gauhati, Assam (per a later Gaudiya-history tradition)
Tradition says that before he was Jagadisha Pandit of Bengal, he was Chandrahasa of Vraja. Almost no one today would recognize this name, except those who study the Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika closely. Yet it is one of the very few facts about his identity on which two independent sources agree completely.
