Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This pond is situated near Muktā-kuṇḍa in the middle of a dense grove of kadamba trees. One day, Śrī Rādhā and Her sakhīs were picking flowers here when Kṛṣṇa suddenly arrived and said, “Who are you? Every day, you steal flowers from My garden.”
Hearing this, Śrīmatī Rādhikā rebuked Him. “You don’t know who I am?”
Saying no more, Kṛṣṇa placed His flute to His lips and began to play, casting charming glances at Rādhā as He walked away. The very sight of Kṛṣṇa leaving greatly distressed Rādhā, who fainted in separation from Him. Lalitā thought that Rādhā had been stung by a black serpent. When She did not regain consciousness after several attempts to revive Her, the sakhīs became most worried.
Just then, Kṛṣṇa arrived disguised as a doctor who cures one of snakebite. He removed the effect of the poison by chanting mantras and whispered in Śrīmatījī’s ear, “I have come. Just see.” Hearing this, Śrīmatī Rādhikā immediately sat up. She smiled to see Kṛṣṇa nearby and an ocean of bliss welled up in the hearts of the sakhīs. This pastime took place here.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
It is said that Radharani and the gopis would come to the banks of this kunda to pick flowers. The word ‘phul’ means ‘flowers’ and ‘wali’ means a ‘flower girl’, but can also mean the ‘place’ from where the ‘phul’ are being picked.
