==Life==
Vishnupriya was born to Sanatan Mishra of [[Nabadwip]]. After the death of Lakshmipriya from the effects of a snakebite [[Chaitanya Mahaprabhu]]'s mother Saci Devi requested him to marry Vishnupriya. According to caste, Sanatana Misra was situated in a higher social position, and so might not agree to the wedding. Saci was concerned that Sanatana Misra, who was higher in social position would refuse to marry his daughter to Nimai Pandita, the son of poor parents, and who had a reputation as an eccentric. When Sacimata submitted the proposal to the matchmaker, he was highly pleased. When she told him she was worried whether or not Sanatana Misra would accept the idea, she said:
:“Thakurani! If Sanatana Misra wouldn't give his daughter's hand in marriage to Nimai Pandita, whom would he have her marry?”<ref name="stephen-knapp1">{{cite web|url=http://www.stephen-knapp.com/vishnupriya_devi.htm |title=Vishnupriya devi |publisher=Stephen-knapp.com |date= |accessdate=2011-10-29}}</ref>
