Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s place of rāsa at Vaṁśīvaṭa is situated a short distance from Bhāṇḍīravaṭa. This Vaṁśīvaṭa is a different place from the Vaṁśīvaṭa in Vṛndāvana. At the time of cow herding, Śrī Kṛṣṇa would climb this banyan tree and play His flute to call the cows. In this way, He would gather them and bring them all back home. Sometimes, on a beautiful, pleasant night, He would also call His beloved gopīs from here – “Rādhikā, Lalitā, Viśākhā!” Upon their arrival, rāsa-līlā would unfold under this Vaṁśīvaṭa.
