"When He returned to Prayaga, Srila Rupa Gosvami and his youngest brother

met Him near Bindu-madhava temple. This time the Lord was welcomed by the

people of Prayaga more respectfully. Vallabha Bhatta, who resided on the

other bank of Prayaga in the village of Adaila, was to receive Him at his

place, but while going there the Lord jumped in the River Yamuna. With great

difficulty He was picked up in an unconscious state. Finally He visited the

headquarters of Vallabha Bhatta. This Vallabha Bhatta was one of His chief

admirers, but later on he inaugurated his own party, the

Vallabha-sampradaya." (SB Introduction)

 

Sounds like the same person, doesn't it?
