² Apart from the general bifurcation into the devotees of Navadvīpa (Murāri, Kavikarṇapūra, Vṛndāvana-dāsa, Jayānanda and some early Pada-composers on Caitanya) and Vṛndāvana (the six Gosvāmins, Kṛṣṇadāsa, Narottama and Śrīnivāsa) respectively, who looked at Caitanya from different angles, we know that even at the time when Vṛndāvana-dāsa wrote, there were other small groups, e.g. Gaura-nāgara-vādins (Narahari, Locana and some Pada-composers, Ādi x), Advaita-bhaktas (Madhya x; Antya iv), followers of Gadādhara (Madhya xiii), disciples and detractors of Nityānanda (Madhya iii).
