Raghunatha

The place where these trees used to be located is to the left of Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami's bhajana kutir (if you are facing Syama-Kunda), next to Syama-Kunda.

Vishvanatha

The Appearance Of

Radha-Kunda And Shyama-Kunda

Srila Vishvanatha Chakravarti Thakur

From the Puräëas, Srila Vishvanatha Chakravarti

Thakur has quoted twenty verses describing a joking

conversation between Radha and Krishna that took

place after Krishna had killed the demon Arishta. This

conversation, so kindly quoted by the äcärya, describes

the origin of Radha-kunda and Shyama-kunda, Radha's

and Krishna's bathing ponds. The verses are as follows:

mäsmän spåçädya våñabhärdana hanta mugdhä

ghoro 'suro 'yam ayi kåñëa tad apy ayaà gauù

våtro yathä dvija ihästy ayi niñkåtiù kià

çudhyed bhaväàs tri-bhuvana-sthita-tértha-kåcchrät

The innocent young gopis said, "Ah, Krishna, don't

touch us now, O killer of a bull! Alas, even though Arista

was a terrible demon, still he was a male cow, so You

will have to undergo atonement, just as Lord Indra did

after killing Vritrasura. But how can You purify Yourself

without going to the trouble of visiting every single holy

place in the three worlds?"

kià paryaöämi bhuvanäny adhunaiva sarvä

änéya tértha-vitatéù karaväëi täsu

snänaà vilokayata tävad idaà mukundaù

procyaiva tatra kåtavän bata pärñëi-ghätam

[Krishna replied] "Why should I have to wander

throughout the entire universe? I will at once bring all

the countless pilgrimage places here and take My bath

in them. Just watch!" With this, Lord Mukunda struck

His heel on the ground. 

pätälato jalam idaà kila bhogavatyä 

äyätam atra nikhilä api tértha-saìghäù 

ägacchateti bhagavad-vacasä ta etya 

tatraiva rejur atha kåñëa uväca gopéù 

[Then He said,] "This is the water of the Bhogavati River, 

coming from the Patala region. And now, O holy places, 

all of you please come here!" When the Supreme Lord 

had spoken these words, all the holy places 

went there and appeared before Him. 

Krishna then addressed the gopis as follows.

térthäni paçyata harer vacasä tavaivaà 

naiva pratéma iti tä atha tértha-varyäù 

procuù kåtäïjali-puöä lavaëäbdhir asmi 

kñéräbdhir asmi çåëutämara-dérghikäsmi " 

See all the holy places!" But the gopis replied, 

"We don't see them as You describe." 

Then those best of holy places, 

joining their palms in supplication, spoke up: 

" I am the salt ocean." 

" I am the ocean of milk." 

" I am the Amara-dirghika."

çoëo 'pi sindhur aham asmi bhavämi tämraparëé

ca puñkaram ahaà ca sarasvaté ca

godävaré ravi-sutä sarayuù prayägo

reväsmi paçyata jalaà kuruta pratétim

" I am the river Sona."

" I am the Sindhu."

" I am the Tamraparni."

" I am the holy place Pushkara."

" I am the river Sarasvati."

" And we are the Godavari, Yamuna and Reva rivers

and the confluence of rivers at Prayaga. Just see our

waters! "

snätvä tato harir ati-prajagalbha eva

çuddhaù saro 'py akaravaà sthita-sarva-tértham

yuñmäbhir ätma-januñéha kåto na dharmaù

ko 'pi kñitäv atha sakhér nijagäda rädhä

After purifying Himself by bathing, Lord Hari became

quite arrogant and said, "I have produced a pond

containing all the various holy places, whereas you

gopis must never have executed any religious duties

on this earth for the pleasure of Lord Brahma." Then

Srimati Radharani addressed Her girlfriends as follows.

käryaà mayäpy ati-manohara-kuëòam ekaà

tasmäd yatadhvam iti tad-vacanena täbhiù

çré-kåñëa-kuëòa-taöa-paçcima-diçya-mando

gartaù kåto våñabha-daitya-khurair vyaloki

"I must create an even more beautiful pond. So go to

work!" Having heard these words, the gopis saw that

Aristasur's hooves had dug a shallow ditch just west of

Sri Krishna's pond.

taträrdra-mån-mådula-gola-tatéù prati-svahastoddhåtä

anati-düra-gatä vidhäya

divyaà saraù prakaöitaà ghaöikä-dvayena

täbhir vilokya sarasaà smarate sma kåñëaù

At that nearby spot, all the gopis began digging up

lumps of soft mud with their hands, and in this way a

divine pond manifested in the short span of an hour.

Krishna was astonished to see the lake they produced.

proce ca tértha-salilaiù paripürayaitan

mat-kuëòataù sarasijäkñi sahälibhis tvam

rädhä tadä na na na neti jagäda yasmät

tvat-kuëòa-néram uru-go-vadha-pätakäktam

He said, "Go ahead, lotus-eyed one. You and Your

companions should fill this pond with water from

Mine."

But Radha replied, "No, no, no, no! This is impossible,

since the water of Your pond is contaminated by Your

terrible sin of killing a cow. "

ähåtya puëya-salilaà çata-koöi-kumbhaiù

sakhy-arbudena saha mänasa-jähnavétaù

etat saraù sva-madhunä paripürayämi

" I will have My countless gopi companions bring the

pure water of the Manasa-ganga here in billions of pots.

In this way I will fill this lake with My own water and

thus make its renown unequaled in the entire world. "

kåñëeìgitena sahasaitya samasta-térthasakhyas

tuñöäva tatra våñabhänu-sutäà praëamya

bhaktyä kåtäïjali-puöaù sravad-asra-dhäraù

Lord Krishna then gestured to a heavenly personality

who was an intimate associate of all the holy places.

Suddenly that person rose up out of Krishna's pond

and bowed down to the daughter of Sri Vrishabhanu

[Radharani]. Then, with palms joined and tears pouring

from his eyes, he began praying to Her in devotion.

devi tvadéya-mahimänam avaiti sarva

çästrärtha-vin na ca vidhir na haro na lakñméù

kintv eka eva puruñärtha-çiromaëis tvatprasveda-

märjana-paraù svayam eva kåñëaù

" O goddess, even Lord Brahma himself, the knower of

all scriptures, cannot understand Your glories, nor can

Lord Shiva or Lakshmi. Only Krishna, the supreme goal

of all human endeavor, can understand them, and thus

He feels obliged to personally make sure that You can

wash away Your perspiration when You are fatigued."

yaç cäru-yävaka-rasena bhavat-padäbjam

tvaà cet prasédasi karoñi kåpä-kaöäkñaà

tarhy eva tarña-viöapé phalito bhaven naù

" He is always anointing Your lotus feet with nectarean

cäru and yävaka and decorating them with ankle bells,

and He rejoices and feels most fortunate simply by

satisfying the tips of the toes of Your lotus feet. On His

order we have immediately come here to live in this

most excellent pond, which He created by one stroke

of His heel. But only if You now feel satisfied with us

and bestow upon us Your merciful glance will the tree

of our desire bear fruit."

çrutvä stutià nikhila-tértha-gaëasya tuñöä

präha sma tarñam ayi vedayateti rädhä

yäma tvadéya-saraséà sa-phalä bhaväma

ity eva no vara iti prakaöaà tadocuù

Hearing this prayer spoken by the representative of the

full assembly of holy places, Sri Radha was pleased and

said, "So, kindly tell Me your desire." They then told

Her plainly, "Our lives would be successful if we could

come to Your pond. That is the benediction we desire. "

ägacchateti våñabhänu-sutä smitäsyä

proväca känta-vadanäbja-dhåtäkñi-koëä

sakhyo 'pi tatra kåta-sammatayaù sukhäbdhau

magnä virejur akhilä sthira-jaìgamäç ca

Glancing at Her beloved from the corners of Her eyes,

the daughter of Vrishabhanu replied with a smile,

"Please come." Her gopi companions all agreed with

Her decision and became immersed in the ocean of

happiness. Indeed, the beauty of all creatures, both

mobile and stationary, was enhanced.

präpya prasädam atha te våñabhänujäyäù

çré-kåñëa-kuëòa-gata-tértha-varäù prasahya

bhittveva bhittim ati-vegata eva rädhäkuëòaà

vyadhuù sva-salilaiù paripürëam eva

Thus gaining the grace of Srimati Radharani, the holy

rivers and lakes in Sri Krishna-kunda forcibly broke

through its boundary walls and swiftly filled Radhakunda

with their waters.

proce hariù priyatame tava kuëòam etan

mat-kuëòato 'pi mahimädhikam astu loke

atraiva me salila-kelir ihaiva nityaà

snänaà yathä tvam asi tadvad idaà saro me

Lord Hari then said, "My dear Radha, may this pond of

Yours become even more world-renowned than Mine.

I will always come here to bathe and to enjoy My water

pastimes. Indeed, this lake is as dear to Me as You are."

rädhäbravéd aham api sva-sakhébhir etya

snäsyämy ariñöa-çata-mardanam astu tasya

yo 'riñöa-mardana-sarasy uru-bhaktir atra

snäyäd vasen mama sa eva mahä-priyo 'stu

Radha replied, "I will come to bathe in Your pond as

well, even though You may kill hundreds of Arista

demons here. In the future, anyone who has intense

devotion for this lake, which is on the spot where You

chastised Aristasur, and who bathes or resides here is

sure to become very dear to Me."

räsotsavaà prakurute sma ca tatra rätrau

çré-rädhikä-pravara-vidyud alaìkåta-çrés

trailokya-madhya-vitaté-kåta-divya-kértiù

That night Lord Krishna initiated a räsa dance at Radha

kunda, generating a torrent of the greatest mood of

splendorous pleasure. Sri Krishna resembled a cloud,

and Srimati Radharani a brilliant flash of lightning filling

the sky with abundant beauty. In this way Their divine

glories permeated the expanses of the three worlds.
