“ ‘I made RÄmÄnanda RÄya the governor of Rajahmundry. There is practically no account of whatever money he took and distributed in that position.
Near Rajahmundry is a famous railway station. ÅšrÄ«la BhaktisiddhÄnta SarasvatÄ« notes that the present Rajahmundry City is located on the northern bank of the GodÄvarÄ«. At the time when RÄmÄnanda RÄya was governor, however, the state capital, which was known as VidyÄnagara or VidyÄpura, was located on the southern side of the GodÄvarÄ«, at the confluence of the GodÄvarÄ« and the sea. That was the part of the country which at that time was known as Rajahmundry. North of Kaliá¹…ga-deÅ›a is Utkaliá¹…ga, or the state of Orissa. The capital of southern Orissa was known as Rajahmundry, but now the location of Rajahmundry has changed.
