Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Godṛṣṭivana is presently called Guhānā. It lies one mile from Paramodarā. Godṛṣṭivana is a place of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s cow herding pastimes. Kṛṣṇa used to stand on top of a high hillock to look out for His cows. From there, He would call them with His flute – Śyāmalī, Dhavalī, Kālindī and so on – and they would come running to Him. Śrī Kṛṣṇa counted the cows on His jewelled necklace, and only when He was satisfied with a full count would He return with them to the cowshed. Gopāla-kuṇḍa and Śyāma-kuṇḍa lie here. This is also the birthplace of Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s sakhā Sudāma.
