Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This place is situated four miles north-east of Paya-gaon and is near the main road between Chātā and Śergarh. The word ūjānī means “opposite flow”. The Yamunā started flowing upstream here upon hearing the very sweet sound of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s flute. This is seen even today.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
The Bhakti-ratnakara says, “In Ujani, the Yamuna changed her course and flowed upstream while listening to the sweet music of Krishna’s flute.” This village is situated near the banks of the River Yamuna. The word ‘ujani’ means ‘opposite direction’ and refers to the day when, after hearing the transcendental sound of Krishna’s flute, the Yamuna River became temporarily stunned due to ecstasy and started to flow in the opposite direction with her current suddenly flowing upstream instead of downstream.
