Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita

baḍa śākhā,—gadādhara paṇḍita-gosāñi
teṅho lakṣmī-rūpā, tāṅra sama keha nāi
tāṅra śiṣya-upaśiṣya,—tāṅra upaśākhā
eimata saba śākhā-upaśākhāra lekhā

Gadādhara Paṇḍita, the fourth branch, is described as an incarnation of the pleasure potency of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. No one, therefore, can equal him. His disciples and granddisciples are his subbranches. To describe them all would be difficult.
