    Rajashekhara Dasa

    From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:

    The word ‘doka’ is derived from the word ‘dekhna’ which means ‘to look’. It is said that once Balarama was strolling on Govardhana Hill, when He suddenly saw the rasa-lila pastimes at Chandra-sarovara and became stunned with ecstasy. He simply remained motionless as He observed the exquisite beauty of Radha and Krishna dancing together with the gopis. There is also a mukut-shila next to the parikrama path where one can see the impression of Lord Balarama’s crown upon a rock from Govardhana hill.
