I am sorry to revive this topic again. But I just read in Kusakratha Prabhu's

Krsna Institute Catalog:

 

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was fond of this book and quoted often from

it. It describes Lord Krsna pastimes, giving many pastimes not found in other

places, and giving more details in its account of familiar pastimes.

 

So can someone shed more light in relation to this statement? Can someone

contact Kusakratha Prabhu, who is in Vrindavana (I believe) and ask him the

source of this statement that Bhaktivinoda Thakura used to quote from it?

 

Your servant,

Nayana-ranjana das
