Purport
These two students were inhabitants of Navadvīpa and were the Lord’s first companions in the saṅkīrtana movement. According to the Caitanya-bhāgavata, Puruṣottama Sañjaya was the son of Mukunda Sañjaya, but the author of Śrī Caitanya-caritamṛta has clarified that Puruṣottama and Sañjaya were two people, not one. ¶
