Chandrapati Thakura was living in Garh Mandla which is presently in Madhya Pradesh.
Since he was the scholar of philosophy as well as Karmakanda, he used to narrate the Puranas to the queen Rani Durgavati every day.
It is said that during the reign of Rani Durgavati, Mahesha Thakura left Garha Mandla and went to Mithila to establish his kingdom in the region.
[3] It is said that the Mughal emperor Akbar was very influenced by the wisdom of Raghunandana Dasa and gifted him the throne of Mithila.
Raghunandan Dasa, in turn, gifted the throne of Mithila to his teacher Mahesha Thakura as Gurudakshina.
[10] Apart from being the ruler of the Mithila region, Mahesha Thakura was also a renowned scholar of Sanskrit literature, Indian philosophy and astronomy.
