Description

Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Śāṅarā-śikhara is also called Dhavala-parvata. Dhavala means “white”. It is also known as Navanīta-parvata, because it has the whitish colour of fresh butter (navanīta). A grove of kadamba trees lies nearby. Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa used to swing here and also performed many other pastimes. Adjacent to the kadamba grove are Nīla-parvata and Ānandādri (a mountain pass). These places are all situated next to Khoha.
Information regarding the location of the various places on the hill and the distance between them is marked on a stone here, which is testimony to the untiring efforts of the Gauḍīya gosvāmīs to manifest the glories of these places. One can easily understand what hard labour this task took.
