# Cc. Madhya 7.39 ## Text > 'kṛṣṇadāsa'-nāme ei sarala brāhmaṇa > iṅho saṅge kari' laha, dhara nivedana ## Synonyms *kṛṣṇadāsa*-*nāme*—named Kṛṣṇadāsa; *ei*—this; *sarala*—simple; *brāhmaṇa*—*brāhmaṇa*; *iṅho*—he; *saṅge*—with You; *kari'*—accepting; *laha*—take; *dhara*—just catch; *nivedana*—the petition. ## Translation **Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu continued, "Here is a simple brāhmaṇa named Kṛṣṇadāsa. Please accept him and take him with You. That is My request.** ## Purport This Kṛṣṇadāsa, known as Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, is not the Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter, verse 37, of the *Ādi-līlā.* The Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter is one of the twelve *gopālas* (cowherd boys) who appeared to substantiate the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He is known as a great devotee of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu. The *brāhmaṇa* named Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa who went with Śrī Caitanya to South India and later to Bengal is mentioned in the *Madhya-līlā,* Tenth Chapter, verses 62-79. One should not take these two to be the same person.
