At this time BhavÄnanda RÄya appeared with four of his sons, and all of them fell down at the lotus feet of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.
BhavÄnanda RÄya had five sons, one of whom was the exalted personality known as RÄmÄnanda RÄya. BhavÄnanda RÄya first met ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu after His return from South India. At that time RÄmÄnanda RÄya was still serving at his government post; therefore when BhavÄnanda RÄya went to see ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, he went with his other four sons. They were named VÄṇīnÄtha, GopÄ«nÄtha, KalÄnidhi and SudhÄnidhi. A description of BhavÄnanda RÄya and his five sons is given in the Ä€di-lÄ«lÄ (10.133-34).
