Chaitanya Bhagavata (Vrindavana Dasa)
শ্রীচৈতন্যভাগবত

It vividly narrates childhood, studies, the Gaya conversion, the kirtan at Shrivasa's house, the challenge to the qadi, the conversion of Jagai and Madhai and the first period after renunciation. It presents Chaitanya as Krishna descended with his companions to teach the chanting of the name, and gives great prominence to Nityananda. It remained incomplete regarding the Puri years, which Krishnadasa would cover.

Authorship note
Biography in Bengali verse written by Vrindavana Dasa, a disciple of Nityananda, around 1540-1550. It is the first great life in Bengali and the main source for the Navadvipa years; it is not Chaitanya's work.
