	~~Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura writes in his Anubhāṣya, “The~~ Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā (129) states that Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura was formerly the cowherd boy of Vṛndāvana named Subāhu. Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura, previously known as Śrī Uddhāraṇa Datta, was a resident of Saptagrāma, which is situated on the bank of the Sarasvatī River near the Triśabighā railway station in the district of ~~Hugli~~. At the time of Uddhāraṇa Ṭhākura, Saptagrāma was a very big town, encompassing many other places such as Vāsudeva-pura, Bāṅśabeḍiyā, Kṛṣṇapura, Nityānanda-pura, Śivapura, Śaṅkhanagara and Saptagrāma.”		The Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā, verse 129, states that Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura was formerly the cowherd boy of Vṛndāvana named Subāhu. Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura, previously known as Śrī Uddhāraṇa Datta, was a resident of Saptagrāma, which is situated on the bank of the Sarasvatī River near the Triśabighā railway station in the district of Hugalī. At the time of Uddhāraṇa Ṭhākura, Saptagrāma was a very big town, encompassing many other places such as Vāsudeva-pura, Bāṅśabeḍiyā, Kṛṣṇapura, Nityānanda-pura, Śivapura, Śaṅkhanagara and Saptagrāma.
	Calcutta was developed under British rule by the influential mercantile community, and especially by the suvarṇa-vaṇik community who came down from Saptagrāma to establish their businesses and homes all over Calcutta. They were known as the Saptagrāmī mercantile community of Calcutta, and most of them belonged to the Mullik and Sil families. More than half of Calcutta belonged to this community, as did Śrīla Uddhāraṇa Ṭhākura. Our paternal family also came from this district and belonged to the same community. The Mulliks of Calcutta are divided into two families, namely the Sil family and De family. All the Mulliks of the De family originally belong to the same family and gotra. We also formerly belonged to the branch of the De family whose members, intimately connected with the Muslim rulers, received the title Mullik.

	~~In the Caitanya-bhāgavata, Antya-khaṇḍa, Chapter Five, it is said that Uddhāraṇa Datta~~ was ~~an extremely elevated and liberal Vaiṣṇava. He was born with~~ the ~~right to worship Nityānanda Prabhu. It is also stated that Nityānanda Prabhu, after staying for some time in Khaḍadaha~~, ~~came to Saptagrāma~~ and ~~stayed in~~ the ~~house of Uddhāraṇa Datta. The~~ suvarṇa-vaṇik community to ~~which Uddhāraṇa Datta belonged was actually a Vaiṣṇava community~~. ~~Its members~~ were ~~bankers and gold merchants (suvarṇa means “gold~~,” and ~~vaṇik means “merchant”). Long ago there was a misunderstanding between Ballāl Sena and the suvarṇa-vaṇik community because~~ of the ~~great banker Gaurī Sena. Ballāl Sena was taking loans from Gaurī Sena and spending money extravagantly,~~ and ~~therefore Gaurī Sena stopped supplying money~~. ~~Ballāl Sena took revenge by instigating a social conspiracy~~ to ~~make the suvarṇa-vaṇiks outcastes~~, and ~~since then they have been ostracized from~~ the ~~higher castes~~, namely the ~~brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas~~ and ~~vaiśyas~~. ~~But by~~ the ~~grace~~ of ~~Śrīla Nityānanda Prabhu,~~ the ~~suvarṇa-vaṇik community was again elevated~~. ~~It is said in~~ the ~~Caitanya-bhāgavata~~, ~~yateka vaṇik-kula uddhāraṇa haite pavitra ha-ila dvidhā nāhika ihāte: there is no doubt that all~~ the ~~community members of~~ the ~~suvarṇa-vaṇik society were again purified by Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu~~.

Not more than fifty years ago, one of the family members of Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura named Jagamohana Datta established a wooden mūrti [statue] of Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura in the temple, but that mūrti is no longer there; at present, a picture of Uddhāraṇa Datta Ṭhākura is worshiped.
