There was a famous proverb in Jessore-khulna, Noakhali, Barishal and it was- " sat rat pak phiri, tabu na pai chakshiri." It shows how important the Pargana Chakshree was and why the king of Jessore Maharaja Pratapaditya wanted it. It was a strategic location connecting East Bengal with West Bengal by water, and it was controlled by Chandradwip king Kandarpanarayan at that time. To occupy this pargana, there was a competition among the kayastha kings, the kings of Tripura, and among the Portuguese and Magh pirates. Ultimately it went to Pratapaditya when he married his own daughter Bindumati to Kandarpanarayan's son Ramchandra. This matrimonial alliance united two important kayastha kings with foresight. After giving Chakshree to Pratap, kandarpanarayan left kachua and began to search a new capital.
