Paramesvara dasa Thakura
He was one of the twelve Gopalas. A Vaisnava poet and a brahmana by caste, Paramesvara belonged to the lineage of Nityananda Prabhu. His Sripata was at Ketugrama (or Kaugrama), though he later settled at Khardaha. According to GGD. 132, he was Arjuna in his past incarnation. (Caitanya Caritamrita 1.11.29)
Bhaktiratnakara (13.244-246) states that on his way from Vrndavana Paramesvara stayed briefly at Garalgacha village. At the command of Jahnava devi, Paramesvara installed the Deity of Radha Gopinatha at Tada Atpur.
Paramesvara accompanied Jahnava devi to Vrndavana. He is said to have had supernatural powers. When Narottama Thakura came to Khardaha, Paramesvara thoroughly informed him about the route to Puri. (Bhakti-ratnakara 8.219)
He died on a full-moon day in the month of Vaisaka (April-May). The cooking spud which Paramesvara used during sankirtana is placed by the side of his samadhi on the occasion of his death anniversary.
