On the western bank of the Bhāgīrathī, in the Koladvīpa district of Navadvīpa, there is a famous village named Kuliyā Pāhārpura. At the time of Śrīman Mahāprabhu, a highly respected and influential Vaiṣṇava named Śrī Mādhava dāsa
Caṭṭopādhyāya (also known as Chakaurī Caṭṭopādhyāya) lived
in that village. Chakaurī Caṭṭopādhyāya had a son named Śrīla
Vaṁśī-vadanānanda Ṭhākura. By the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Śrī Vaṁśī-vadanānanda had tremendous power
and authority. Everyone addressed him as Vaṁśī-vadanānanda
Prabhu, because they regarded him as an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa’s flute. He was renowned as a special recipient of Śrī Viṣṇupriyā’s
mercy.
After Śrī Priyājī’s disappearance, Vaṁśī Prabhu transferred the Deity whom she had worshiped from Śrī Dhāma-Māyāpura to
Kuliyā Pāhārpura, and his descendants carried out the service of
this Deity for some time after that. However, when his descendants
obtained the mercy of Śrī Jāhnavā Mātā, and moved from Kuliyā Pāhārpura to Śrīpāṭ Bāghanāpārā, the worship of the Deity was
continued in Kuliyā-grāma by the sevaites from Mālañcha.
Kuliyā-grāma is situated on the opposite side of the Gaṅgā from Prācīna (old) Navadvīpa, and at that time included many
small settlements, among which Cināḍāṅgā and a few others
