v1.c30.41

At Puri Chaitanya died, or as his disciples believe, was carried away bodily to heaven in 1533-34. Pratāparudra survived him for six years. It has been deduced by Chakravarti from the date of the accession of Govinda Vidyādhara of the Bhoi dynasty that Pratāparudra must have died early in 1540. According to tradition as recorded in the *Jagannātha-Charit-āmṛita*, a biography of the Oṛiyā saint, Jagannātha Dāsa, the founder of the *Atibara* sect of Oṛiyā Vaishṇavas, Pratāparudra survived Chaitanya.²
