Śrīla Narottama Dāsa Ṭhākura
When Mahāprabhu passed through Kanair Natshala, as He was dancing ecstatically in kīrtana, He began to call out Narottama’s name. When Nityānanda Prabhu asked Him why He was calling out this name, Mahāprabhu answered, “My Lord, You do not know Your own glories. On Your way to Jagannātha Purī, You shed tears out of divine love, day after day. I managed to capture Your divine love and save it. Now I wish to place it here by the Padmāvatī River in safe keeping for Narottama Dāsa.”

Glories of Narottam Ṭhākura
Narottam Dās Ṭhākura is Campaka-mañjarī in Kṛṣṇa-līlā. who is subordinate to Rūpa-mañjarī. If we want to make progress in Bhakti we should pray for the grace of the Vaishnavas. Remembrance of Vaishnavs will remove all our ulterior desires and will bestow on us the highest objective which is attaining Kṛṣṇa-prema. We cannot pray for their grace by our material minds. We do not know how to pray for their grace. We are even scared to pray for their grace. While praying grace we desire from them worldly benefits.
