PURPORT
Navani Hoda appears to have been the same person as Hoda Krsnadasa, the son of the King of Badagachi.
His father’s name was Hari Hoda.
One can visit Badagachi by taking the Lalagola-ghata railway line.
Formerly the Ganges flowed by Badagachi, but now it has become a canal known as the Kalsira Khala.
Near the Mudagacha station is a village known as Saligrama in which King Krsnadasa arranged for the marriage of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, as described in the Bhakti-ratnakara,(Twelfth Wave).
It is sometimes said that Navani Hoda was the son of Raja Krsnadasa.
His descendants still live in Rukunapura, a village near Bahiragachi.
They belong to the daksina-radhiya-kayastha community, but, having been reformed as brahmanas, they still initiate all classes of men.
