He was a famous Vaisnava poet, born in a vaidya caste in Saka 1482 (1560 AD) at Jhamatpur in the district of Burdwan. His parents were Bhagiratha and Sunanda. His brother, Syamadasa, was a physician.
Krsnadasa's father died when he was only six years of age. Thus Krsnadasa and his brother were brought up in the house of their paternal aunt. From early childhood Krsnadasa displayed a strong inclination towards renunciation. Upon reaching maturity he entrusted his brother with the responsibility of caring for the property and he dedicated himself completely to Harinama.
One night he received a command in a dream from Lord Nityananda to go to Vrndavana. Thus Krsnadasa went to Vrndavana, where he lived until the end of his life.
Premavilasa 18 states that Raghunatha dasa Gosvami was his guru. Krsnadasa's profound command over the Sanskrit sastras is apparent in his works CC, Govindalilamrta, and the 'Sarangarangada' tika of Krsnakarnamrta. His CC. is a treasure cherished by all Vaisnavas. His work called 'Svarupavarnava' was published in the Nityanandadayini Patrika. Another title of the same work is 'Svarupa Nirnaya' (Pathavadi ms. no. B 194).
Premavilasa 13.94 says that upon hearing the news of the theft of the manuscripts which were sent to Gauda, Krsnadasa plunged into the Radhakunda. Karnananda 7 also states that Kaviraja Gosvami jumped into Radhakunda but did not die, he lived for sometime anxiously awaiting the news that the books were recovered. He died after the disappearance of Dasa Gosvami, and his tomb stands near Radhakunda. He was Ratnarekha in his past incarnation, although some say that he was Kasturi manjari.

Él era un famoso poeta Vaisnava, nacido en una casta vaidya en Saka 1482 (1560 AD) en Jhamatpur en el distrito de Burdwan. Sus padres eran Bhagiratha y Sunanda. Su hermano, Syamadasa, era un médico.
El padre de Krsnadasa murió cuando él tenía sólo seis años de edad. Así Krsnadasa y su hermano fueron criados en la casa de su tía paterna. Desde la primera infancia Krsnadasa visualiza una fuerte inclinación hacia la renuncia. Al alcanzar la madurez confió a su hermano con la responsabilidad de cuidar de la propiedad y se dedicó por completo a Harinama.
Una noche recibió una instrucción en un sueño del Señor Nityananda, ir a Vrndavana. Así Krsnadasa fue a Vrndavana, donde vivió hasta el final de su vida.
En el Premavilasa 18 se establece que Raghunatha dasa Gosvami era su Guru. El estudio profundo de Krsnadasa sobre el sánscrito sastras es evidente en sus obras, Govindalilamrta y tika la 'Sarangarangada' de Krsnakarnamrta. Su escritos son un tesoro preciado por todos los Vaisnavas. Su trabajo llamado 'Svarupavarnava' fue publicado en la Nityanandadayini Patrika. Otro título de la misma obra es 'Svarupa Nirnaya' (Pathavadi ms. No. B 194).
Premavilasa 13.94 dice que al conocer la noticia del robo de los manuscritos que se enviaron a Gauda, Krsnadasa se sumergió en el Radhakunda. Karnananda 7 también establece que Kaviraja Gosvami saltó a Radhakunda pero no murió, vivió por algún tiempo esperando ansiosamente la noticia de que los libros fueron recuperados. Murió después de la desaparición de Dasa Gosvami, y su tumba se encuentra cerca a Radhakunda. Fue Ratnarekha en su encarnación pasada, aunque algunos dicen que era Kasturi manjari.
