ÅšrÄ« NityÄnanda Prabhu continued, “Here is a simple brÄhmaṇa named KṛṣṇadÄsa. Please accept him and take him with You. That is My request.

Purport

This KṛṣṇadÄsa, known as KÄlÄ KṛṣṇadÄsa, is not the KÄlÄ KṛṣṇadÄsa mentioned in the eleventh chapter, verse 37, of the Ä€di-lÄ«lÄ. The KÄlÄ KṛṣṇadÄsa mentioned in the eleventh chapter is one of the twelve gopÄlas (cowherd boys) who appeared to substantiate the pastimes of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu. He is known as a great devotee of Lord NityÄnanda Prabhu. The brÄhmaṇa named KÄlÄ KṛṣṇadÄsa who went with ÅšrÄ« Caitanya to South India and later to Bengal is mentioned in the Madhya-lÄ«lÄ, tenth chapter, verses 62-79. One should not take these two to be the same person.
