Editing Sankardev (section)

====''Shiromaniship'' refusal====
On his return from his pilgrimage (c1493), Sankardev refused to take back the Shiromaniship, though on the insistence of his elders, he took responsibility of a hundred families (''gomastha'') but he soon handed over the responsibility to his son-in-law Hari. On his grandmother's insistence, he married Kalindi at the age of 54. Finally, he moved back to Bordowa and constructed a temple (''devagriha'') in c1498,<ref>After five years, Sankara had a temple built for him a little away from the abode of householder" {{harv|Neog|1980|p=69}}</ref> possibly a thatched house, built on the original site of his father's house where he could meet with people, discuss religious matters and hold prayers, and preach. He wrote ''Bhakti pradipa'' and ''Rukmini harana''. Soon after, he received a copy of the [[Bhagavata Purana]] from Jagadisa Mishra of [[Mithila (ancient)|Mithila]], with Sridhara Swami's [[monism|monistic]] commentary "Bhavartha-dipika".  Mishra recited and explained the entire Bhagavata in the presence of Sankardev and this event is considered critical in the development of Ekasarana.<ref>{{harv|Neog|1980|p=107}}</ref> Datyari, an early biographer of Sankardev writes: Sankardev listened with rapt attention to the exposition by Jagadish Mishra and realised that the ''Bhagavata'' was a scripture without parallel, a scripture that determined Krishna as the only God, ''naam'' as the real dharma, and ''aikantika-sarana'' and ''sat-sanga'' as the indispensable elements of the faith."<ref>{{harv|Sarma|1999|p=12}}</ref> He also began composing the ''Kirtana ghosha''.
