Rajashekhara Dasa
From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
At this spot one can see around fifty six small circular impressions on the rocks that is said to be the mark left by fifty-six katoris or small containers that were used by the sakhis when they were preparing an offering of food for Krishna at this place. It is a tradition that in a ‘raja-bhoga’ offering, which is the offering of a midday meal to the temple Deity, there must be fifty six preparations kept in small katoris, and this is called ‘chapan-bhoga’. Some others say that these impressions were made by the lotus feet of the gopis as they played on Sakhigiri Parvata.
