Chapter 23: Prameya: Nāma-tattva

Bilva

puṣkariṇī is a charming village where Bhagavatī. Bhāgīrathī flows in both the northern and western directions. In one corner of the village, there is a beautiful lake surrounded by bael trees. On the shore of the lake is the Bilva-pakṣa Mahādeva Temple, and Bhavatāraṇa is splendidly situated a little distant from this temple. The village of Simuliyā is between

Bilva-puṣkariṇī and Brāhmaṇa

puṣkariṇī, and all three villages are within the town of Navadvīpa. A wide road leads through the center of Bilva-puṣkariṇī, and Vrajanātha’s house is on this road towards the north. Vijaya Kumāra had bidden his sister farewell and walked for some distance, but on the way he began to think that it would be fitting to learn śrī-nāma-tattva from Bābājī before he went home. Thinking like this, he returned to Bilva-puṣkariṇī, and said to his sister, “I will stay here for one or two more days, and then I will return home.”
