According to the Premavilāsa, when Mahaprabhu passed through Kānāir Nāțaśālā, as He was dancing ecstatically in kirtan, He began to call out the name Narottama. When Nityananda asked Him why He was calling out this name, Mahaprabhu answered, “My Lord, You do not know Your own glories. When we went to Jagannath Puri, You shed tears out of divine love, day after day. I managed to capture Your divine love and save it. Now I wish to keep it here by the Padmavati River for Narottama Das.”Mahaprabhu then went on to the Padmavati River to the place known as Kutubpur, where He bathed and sang and danced in ecstasy. He then called out to the river, “O Padmavati! Take My love and keep it here. When Narottama comes and bathes here, give it to him.”Then Padmavati inquired, “How will I recognize him?”Mahaprabhu answered, “You will know it is Narottama, for when he enters your waters, you will overflow.”The place where Mahaprabhu placed prema for Narottam Das was later given the name Prematali. When Narottama was twelve years old, he had a dream in which Nityananda Prabhu told him to bathe in the Padmavati and take the prema which had been stored there for him. He went the next day to the Padma and as soon as he put his foot in the water, the river started to overflow. The Padmavati then remembered Mahaprabhu’s words and gave Narottama the prema which she had been safeguarding for him.
