The Vaiṣṇavas of Navadvīpa began to pray to Lord Kṛṣṇa, “May Nimāi Paṇḍita, the son of Jagannātha Miśra, give up all other endeavors and fully engage in worshiping Kṛṣṇa. May Nimāi Paṇḍita also manifest uncommon endeavors in the devotional service of Kṛṣṇa like those that have earned Him the highest elevated position of learning in the world.”
