His wife, ÅšrÄ«matÄ« ÅšacÄ«devÄ«, was a chaste woman highly devoted to her husband. ÅšacÄ«devī’s father’s name was NÄ«lÄmbara, and his surname was CakravartÄ«.
ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« ṬhÄkura writes in his AnubhÄá¹£ya, “In the Gaura-gaṇoddeÅ›a-dÄ«pikÄ (104) it is mentioned that NÄ«lÄmbara CakravartÄ« was formerly Garga Muni. Some of the family descendants of NÄ«lÄmbara CakravartÄ« still live in the village of the name Magá¸obÄ, in the district of Faridpur, in Bangladesh. His nephew was JagannÄtha CakravartÄ«, also known as MÄmu ṬhÄkura, who became a disciple of Paṇá¸ita GosvÄmÄ« and stayed at JagannÄtha PurÄ« as the priest of Ṭoá¹Ä-gopÄ«nÄtha. NÄ«lÄmbara CakravartÄ« lived at NavadvÄ«pa, in the neighborhood of BelapukuriyÄ. This fact is mentioned in the book Prema-vilÄsa. Because he lived near the house of the Kazi, the Kazi was also considered one of the maternal uncles of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu. The Kazi used to address NÄ«lÄmbara CakravartÄ« as kÄkÄ, or ‘uncle.’ One cannot separate the residence of the Kazi from VÄmanapukura because the tomb of the Kazi is still existing there. Formerly the place was known as BelapukuriyÄ, and now it is called VÄmanapukura. This has been ascertained by archeological evidence.â€
