My Favourite Pastime…
Jayapataka Swami: That’s the island of Simantadvipa. And Simantadvipa is named because Pārvatī took the dust of Lord Caitanya’s lotus feet and put it on her forehead, on her simanta. The part of the hair of the ladies where they put their sindoor. Most ladies have a parting in the middle. Some part on the side. The one in the middle is called the śimanta. The place of Lakṣmī.
