Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
Śrī Balabhadra, His younger brother Kanhaiyā and the sakhās used to come to Bhāṇḍīravana to pasture the cows. Śrī Balabhadra presides over the forests on the east side of the Yamunā, like Bhadravana, Bhāṇḍīravana, Baelvana, Gokula-Mahāvana and Lohavana. Therefore, all these places have temples of Śrī Baladeva. It is recommended that one visit the temple of Baladeva in Bhāṇḍīravana.
