From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This lake is situated at Sakhīgiri-parvata. Lalitā and other sakhīs used to play many kinds of water sports while bathing in this lake. It is rare even for the demigods to come to this place. Once, while playing here, the sakhīs collected badrī fruit and arranged them in the form of a mortar (okhal). This place is still famous by the name Badrī-kā-okhal.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This lake is the place where the gopis used to bathe and also where they enjoyed playing water sports (jal-krida). Some people say this place is also known to locals as Badri-ka-okhal, because the sakhis collected sweet tasting badri fruits and would grind them into a pulp using an ‘okhal’ or grinding mortar.
