This work, popularly known as Murari Guptar kaRchA, is the earliest source for the life of Sri Chaitanya; later hagiographies such as the Chaitanya Charitamrita by Krishnadasa Kaviraja were based on this work.

Murari Gupta was born in Sylhet and was a physician; later he became a devotee of Sri Chaitanya and moved to Navadvip.
