PURPORT

The Caitanya-bhagavata, Antya-lila, Chapter Five, states that Raghunatha Vaidya came to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu when the Lord was staying at Panihati.

He was a great devotee and had all good qualities.

According to the Caitanya-bhagavata, he was formerly Revati, the wife of Balarama.

Anyone he glanced upon would immediately attain Krsna consciousness.

He lived on the seashore at Jagannatha Puri and compiled a book of the name Sthana-nirupana.
