“O Devi! The Lord performed harikirtana in the kingdom of Samudra Sena at the confluence of the Ganga and the ocean before proceeding to Campahatta.” (Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, Pramana-khanda 4.43)
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has mentioned the following in his Navadvipa-bhava-taranga: “Towards the north of Koladvipa there is a place called Campahatta. In all of Navadvipa-dhama this place is the most beautiful. This Campahatta village is a great tirtha and the most attractive location of the poet Jayadeva’s worship of Gaura- sasadhara. There, at the house of Vaninatha, Sri Saci-nandana along with His associates performed namasankirtana. There was a great festival at the house of Vaninatha, where Sri Gauranga showed His opulence of love. In Campahatta village there is a forest of campaka flowers, which the gopi Campakalata comes here to pick. This forest in Navadvipa is non-different from Khadiravana in Vraja where Balarama and Krishna take rest.”
