pañca-dina - continuously for five days; dekhe - see; loka - people; nÄhika - there is not; viÅ›rÄma - rest; loka-bhaye - on account of fearing the crowds of men; rÄtre - at night; prabhu - the Lord; ÄilÄ - went; kuliyÄ-grÄma - to the place known as KuliyÄ.
For five consecutive days all the people gathered to see the Lord, and still there was no rest. Out of fear of the crowd, Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu left at night and went to the town of KuliyÄ [present-day NavadvÄ«pa].
If one considers the statements of the Caitanya-bhÄgavata along with the description by Locana dÄsa ṬhÄkura, it is clear that present-day NavadvÄ«pa was formerly known as KuliyÄ-grÄma. While at KuliyÄ-grÄma, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu bestowed His favor upon DevÄnanda Paṇá¸ita and delivered GopÄla CÄpala and many others who had previously committed offenses at His lotus feet. At that time, to go from VidyÄnagara to KuliyÄ-grÄma one had to cross a branch of the Ganges. All of those old places still exist. CinÄá¸Äá¹…gÄ was formerly situated in KuliyÄ-grÄma, which is now known as Kolera Gañja.
