Most of the Vaishnavas of the generation in which Gadadhara Pandit grew up had come to Nabadwip from somewhere else. In the fifteenth century, learned brahmana families in Bengal often moved from place to place. Nabadwip, as the most famous seat of Sanskrit study in the province, drew them in. The family of Gadadhara Pandit came from the far east of the region, from the Chittagong district, in what is now Bangladesh.
