One day during the afternoon, Lord Nityananda reached Koladvipa along with Sri Jiva and others. While walking towards Kuliya-pahada (hill), Lord Nityananda told Sri Jiva, “The route we are following, crossing the River Ganga, is the proper sequence for parikrama. Once, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was engaged in chauda-mandala sankirtana (chanting with fourteen simultaneous musical groups), in order to purify Chand Kazi. In the evening, Mahaprabhu left Mayapur and went out along with His devotees. That night became Brahma-ratra (as long as the night of Brahma). On that occasion Mahaprabhu was moving with the sankirtana party in this same sequence. After that, every Ekadasi my Lord would go out on sankirtana. Sometimes He would circumambulate Antardvipa, taking the five krosa path and at other times He would perform parikrama over the eight krosas, according to His own desire. He would start sankirtana from His house and go towards Barakonaghata. Then he would proceed towards Sridhara’s house from where he would come to the end of Antardvipa.”

“The Lord passed through the Pancaveni-tirtha, also known as Maha-Prayaga. He crossed Sri Ganga-devi and entered into Koladvipa.” (Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, Pramana-khanda 4.42)
