Author of the Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta, the collection of intimate verses on Kṛṣṇa that Caitanya Mahāprabhu is said to have heard every day. Much of the paugaṇḍa material in the Gauḍīya tradition — the boyhood thefts, the conspiracies with Madhumaṅgala, the bells that would not stay silent — is transmitted through his work.
