Syamananda was invited to the festival at Kheturi[1], which he attended with his disciples. Once again he was united with his old friends Srinivasa and Narottama. These three floated in an ocean of happiness as they exchanged affections and embraces.

Jahnava Mata, Raghunanandana Thakura, Acyutananda, Vrindavana Dasa Thakura, as well as many other stalwart leaders of the preaching mission of Mahaprabhu at this time, were also present.

After the conclusion of the celebrations, Syamananda took leave from the Vaisnavas there and set out for Utkaladesa.

[1] Kheturi is the birthplace of Narottama Dasa Thakura. It’s a town today situated in Bangladesh, near the border with West Bengal, on the banks of the river Padma.
