LÄ«lÄÅ›uka is Bilvamaá¹…gala ṬhÄkura GosvÄmÄ«. He was a South Indian, a brÄhmaṇa, and his former name was Åšilhaṇa MiÅ›ra. When he was a householder, he became attracted to a prostitute named CintÄmaṇi, but eventually he took her advice and became renounced. Thus he wrote a book named ÅšÄnti-Å›ataka, and later, by the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa and the Vaiṣṇavas, he became a great devotee. Thus he became famous as Bilvamaá¹…gala ṬhÄkura GosvÄmÄ«. On that elevated platform he wrote a book named Kṛṣṇa-karṇÄmá¹›ta, which is very famous amongst Vaiṣṇavas. Since he exhibited so many ecstatic symptoms, people used to call him LÄ«lÄÅ›uka.
