All glories to Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita Acharya and their
associates. Please be kind to this poor soul. All glories to the
merciful listeners.
Who could possibly describe all the wonderful disciples of Sri Thakura Mahasaya? Although I am unqualified and ignorant, I shall try to describe some of the branches and twigs who descended from the tree of Sri Narottama dasa Thakura. Please forgive my frailties and bestow your mercy upon me as I am always at your service.

There is no limit in describing the qualities of all these Vaisnavas. Their fame spread all over the world. I desire to worship them and sing their glories without any attraction towards material pleasure.
Now I give further description of the branches and twigs of Narottama dasa Thakura. RamaKrishna Acharya has a big branch having many disciples. Kanakalatika is the wife of Sri Acharya. She is a devoted wife and a great devotee of Krishna. RadhaKrishnAcharya, the eldest son of Acharya died at an early age. RadhaKrishna Cakravarti of Vetula is a great devotee. Sri Svarupa Cakravarti of Husanapura is a sincere servant of Sri Govinda. Sri Gopala Cakravarti of Kumarapura whose topic is on everyone's lips. There is no limit of the branches and twigs to whom Sri Krishna Caitanya is the life.
Ganganarayana is the branch of Sri Thakura Mahasaya. Ganganarayana got the title of Sri Thakura Cakravarti. Everyone used to sing his glory even today in Vrindavana. He has many branches and twigs of disciples. Narahari, wife of Sri Cakravarti is the mother of Visnupriya. Krishnapriya, daughter of Visnupriya is favored by Sri Radharani of Sri Radha Kunda. Sri Krishna Carana Cakravarti is the youngest son of RamaKrishna Acharya. How can I sing the glory of Sri Krishnacarana. I am trying to present a brief account of his branches and twigs. Rama Krishna and Ganganarayana are the same entity. Sri Thakura Cakravarti has no son. Acharya realising his desire, favored Ganganarayana by giving a son. And that son is Sri Krishnacarana, son of Sri Acharya. Sri Krishnacarana became a great scholar in a short time. Sri Madhusudana Cakravarti is another branch to whom Ganganarayan is the life. Raghudeva Cakravarti is a great devotee of Sri Cakravarti Thakura.
I restrain myself from narrating all the branches and twigs of Sri Cakravarti Thakura. The branches of Sri Mahasaya's disciples are all abodes of exemplary qualities who were always absorbed in the joy of sankirtana. I have no capacity to descibe the transcendental pastimes of Sri Thakura Mahasaya, therefore I am fully dependent on the mercy of the Vaishnava Gosvamis.
Thus listen attentively to the narration of Narottama Vilasa by Narahari.
