O Krsna!", forgetting all physical comforts? swa-paca-grhete, magiya khaibo, 2. I will even take my meals by begging at the homes of the candalas and will drink the water of the Saraswati.

Once Narada Muni came to him and informed him, "You are simply engrossed in serving your body and family, but still you are lucky, because you are living in the Dhama of Navadvipa. Thus you have every chance of attaining the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and entering in the eternal pastimes of Radha and Krsna. If you start to chant the name of Gauranga, you will definitely attain the perfection in this life." Later King Suvarna Sena became Buddhimanta Khan in the pastimes of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati established Sri Suvarna-vihar Gaudiya matha here.
