Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura writes in his Anubhāṣya, “To go to the headquarters of Kānu Ṭhākura, one has to proceed by boat from the Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa station to the river known as Kapotākṣa. Otherwise, if one goes about two or two and a half miles from the Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa station, he can see Bodhakhānā, the headquarters of Kānu Ṭhākura. The son of Sadāśiva was Puruṣottama Ṭhākura, and his son was Kānu Ṭhākura. The descendants of Kānu Ṭhākura know him as Nāgara Puruṣottama. He was the cowherd boy named Dāma during kṛṣṇa-līlā. It is said that just after the birth of Kānu Ṭhākura, his mother, Jāhnavā, died. When he was about twelve days old, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu took him to His home at Khaḍadaha. It is ascertained that Kānu Ṭhākura was born some time in the Bengali year 942 [A.D. 1535]. It is said that he took birth on the Ratha-yātrā day. Because he was a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa from the very beginning of his life, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu gave him the name Śiśu Kṛṣṇadāsa. When he was five years old he went to Vṛndāvana with Jāhnavā-mātā, and the Gosvāmīs, upon seeing the ecstatic symptoms of Kānu Ṭhākura, gave him the name Kānāi Ṭhākura.

Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura escribe en su Anubhâsya: «Para ir a la casa de Kānu Ṭhākura, hay que tomar el barco desde la estación de Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa hasta el río llamado Kapotākṣa. Si no, yendo a unos tres o cuatro kilómetros de la estación de Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa, puede verse Bodhakhānā, el lugar de residencia de Kānu Ṭhākura. El hijo de Sadāśiva era Puruṣottama Ṭhākura, y su hijo era Kānu Ṭhākura. Los descendientes de Kānu Ṭhākura le conocen como Nāgara Puruṣottama. Durante el kṛṣṇa-līlā, él fue el pastorcillo de vacas llamado Dāma. Se dice que nada más nacer Kānu Ṭhākura, su madre, Jāhnavā, murió. Cuando tenía unos doce años, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu le llevó a su casa, en Khaḍadaha. Está comprobado que Kānu Ṭhākura nació en el año bengalí 942 (1535 d.C.). Se dice que nació el día del Ratha-yātra. Como era un gran devoto del Señor Kṛṣṇa desde el principio de su vida, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu le dio el nombre de Śiśu Kṛṣṇadāsa. Cuando tenía cinco años, fue a Vṛndāvana con Jāhnavā-mātā, y al ver los signos de éxtasis de Kānu Ṭhākura, los Gosvāmīs le dieron el nombre de Kānāi Ṭhākura.

“In the family of Kānu Ṭhākura there is a Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deity known as Prāṇavallabha. It is said that his family worshiped this Deity long before the appearance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. When there was a Maharashtrian invasion of Bengal, the family of Kānu Ṭhākura was scattered, and after the invasion one Harikṛṣṇa Gosvāmī of that family came back to their original home, Bodhakhānā, and re-established the Prāṇavallabha Deity. The descendants of the family still engage in the service of Prāṇavallabha. Kānu Ṭhākura was present during the Kheṭari utsava, when Jāhnavā-devī and Vīrabhadra Gosvāmī were also present. One of Kānu Ṭhākura’s family members, Mādhavācārya, married the daughter of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, who was named Gaṅgādevī. Both Puruṣottama Ṭhākura and Kānu Ṭhākura had many disciples from brāhmaṇa families. Most of the disciplic descendants of Kānu Ṭhākura now reside in the village named Gaḍabetā, by the river Śilāvatī, in the Midnapore district.”

«En la familia de Kānu Ṭhākura hay una Deidad de Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa conocida como Prāṇavallabha. Se dice que esta familia adoraba esa Deidad mucho antes del advenimiento de Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Cuando gentes de Mahārāṣṭra invadieron Bengala, la familia de Kānu Ṭhākura se desperdigó, y después de la invasión, un tal Harikṛṣṇa Gosvāmī de aquella familia volvió al hogar original, Bodhakhānā, y volvió a establecer la Deidad de Prāṇavallabha. Los descendientes de la familia aún se ocupan en el servicio de Prāṇavallabha. Kānu Ṭhākura estuvo presente durante el Kheṭari-utsava, cuando Jāhnavā-devī y Vīrabhadra Gosvāmī estaban también presentes. Uno de los miembros de la familia de Kānu Ṭhākura, Mādhavācārya, se casó con la hija de Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, que se llamaba Gaṅgādevī. Tanto Puruṣottama Ṭhākura como Kānu Ṭhākura tuvieron muchos discípulos de familias de brāhmaṇas. La mayor parte de los descendientes discipulares de Kānu Ṭhākura residen ahora en la aldea llamada Gaḍabetā, a orillas del río Śilāvatī, en el distrito de Midnapore.»
