PURPORT

When Lord Nityananda Prabhu rebuked Sivananda Sena on the way to Puri, these two nephews of Sivananda left the company as a protest and went to see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri.

The Lord could understand the feelings of the boys, and He asked His personal assistant Govinda to supply them prasada until the party of Sivananda arrived.

During the Ratha-yatra sankirtana festival these two brothers were members of the party led by Mukunda.

In the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, verse 174, it is said that the gopi whose name was Katyayani appeared as Srikanta Sena.
