A
- A dog accompanied Sivananda Sena and the devotees, and that dog was so fortunate that after seeing the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, it was liberated and went back home, back to Godhead
- A nephew of Sivananda Sena’s named Srikanta left the company in protest of Nityananda Prabhu’s curse and went directly to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu at Jagannatha Puri, where the Lord pacified him
- About one and a half miles away from Kumarahatta, or Kamarhatta, which is a few miles from Calcutta, is a village known as Kancadapada, which was the home of Sri Sivananda Sena. There he constructed a temple of Sri Gauragopala

- After meditating for two days, Nrsimhananda Brahmacari told Sivananda Sena, "I have already brought Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to the village known as Panihati"
- After saying this, Sivananda Sena went to Nityananda Prabhu, who then stood up and kicked him
- All the devotees of Kulina-grama and Sri Khanda, as well as Advaita Acarya, came together to meet Sivananda Sena
- Also hearing this auspicious news, Haridasa Thakura became very pleased. So also did Vasudeva Datta, Murari Gupta and Sivananda Sena
- Although Sivananda Sena tried with much endeavor to get his boy to speak Krsna's holy name, the boy would not utter it
- As he (Srikanta Sena) described the Vaisnavas, therefore, he did not mention Lord Nityananda's kicking Sivananda Sena. Meanwhile, all the devotees arrived and went to meet the Lord
- At night, when Sivananda Sena returned and was taking his meal, he inquired from the servant whether the dog had gotten its meals
- At the end of the year, Sivananda Sena came to Jagannatha Puri as usual, accompanied by the other devotees, and thus in great happiness met Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
B
- Because of Sivananda Sena's glories, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ate all kinds of prasadam to honor his request. However, the Lord ate more than necessary, and therefore His mind was dissatisfied
- Being very much pleased by Nityananda Prabhu's behavior, Sivananda Sena began to arrange residential quarters for all the Vaisnavas, headed by Advaita Acarya
- Bring all the ingredients very soon, for I want to begin cooking immediately. Please do what I say

- Crying, his wife informed him, "Lord Nityananda has cursed our sons to die because His quarters have not been provided"

- Every year he took a party of devotees from Bengal to Jagannatha Puri to visit Lord Caitanya. He maintained the entire party as they journeyed on the road
F
- Factually it happened that the same dog (that was fed prasadam by Sivananda Sena), when met by Lord Caitanya at Puri, was liberated from the material condition
- Four pieces of kadi made one ganda, and twenty such gandas equaled one pana. This kadi was also used as a medium of exchange; therefore Sivananda Sena paid for the dog with dasa pana, or eighty times ten pieces of kadi
- From the house of Srivasa Thakura, the Lord went to the house of Sivananda Sena and then to the house of Vasudeva Datta
H

- He (Nityananda Prabhu) cursed Sivananda’s sons to die. Sivananda’s wife was very much aggrieved at this, and she began to cry. She very seriously thought that since her sons had been cursed by Nityananda Prabhu, certainly they would die
- He (Sivananda Sena) once took along a dog while on his way to Jagannatha Puri, and it is described in the Antya-lila, First Chapter (of Caitanya-caritamrta), that this dog later attained salvation by his association
- He also met Sivananda Sena, who informed him, Your father sent ten men to take you away
- He complained, "Sivananda Sena has not arranged for My residence and I am so hungry I could die. Because he has not come, I curse his three sons to die"

- Hearing these calls, Sivananda Sena quickly went there, offered obeisances to Nakula Brahmacari, and sat down near him
- Hearing this curse, Sivananda Sena's wife began to cry. Just then, Sivananda returned from the toll station
- Hearing this, all the devotees were struck with wonder, and Sivananda became confident that the incident was true
