Jagadīśa Paṇá¸ita was formerly a great dancer in kṛṣṇa-lÄ«lÄ and was known as CandrahÄsa. Regarding Hiraṇya Paṇá¸ita, it is said that once when Lord NityÄnanda, decorated with valuable jewels, was staying at his home, all night long a great thief attempted to plunder these jewels but was unsuccessful. Later he came to NityÄnanda Prabhu and surrendered unto Him.
