Purport

In the southern section of the Eastern Railway, in the district of twenty-four pargaṇÄs, is a station named MagrÄhÄá¹­a. If one goes to the southeastern side of that station for some fourteen miles, there is a place called Jayanagara. About six miles south of this Jayanagara station is a village named Chatrabhoga. Sometimes this village is called KhÄá¸i. In this village is a Deity of Lord Åšiva known as VaijurkÄnÄtha. A festival takes place there every year during the month of Caitra (March-April). The festival is known as NandÄ-melÄ. At the present moment the Ganges does not flow there. On the same railway line is another station, known as BÄruipura, and near this station is another place, called ĀṭisÄrÄ. Formerly this village was also situated on the banks of the Ganges. One can go from this village to PÄnihÄá¹­i and from there to VarÄha-nagara, north of Calcutta. In those days the Ganges flowed to the south of Calcutta through KÄlÄ«-ghÄá¹­a, which is still known as Ä€di-gaá¹…gÄ. From BÄruipura, the Ganges branched out and flowed through Diamond Harbour near the MathurÄpura police station. It is to be noted that ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu passed through all these places on His way to JagannÄtha PurÄ«.
