Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This stone slide (phisalanī-śilā) is situated on the Indrasena Hill near Kalāvatā-grāma. While grazing the cows, Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the sakhās used to slide here. Śrīmatī Rādhikā sometimes used to slide here also, along with Her sakhīs. To this day, the boys of the nearby village take great pleasure in sliding down this hill when they graze their cows. Pilgrims also come to take darśana of this slide, where these joyful episodes took place.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This is the stone-slide known as Phishalni-shila where the sakhis used to enjoy sliding pastimes in their childhood. The word ‘phishalni-shila means ‘rock-slide’ One can also see the marks of alta or red lac, left behind from the footsteps of the sakhis, as they engaged in their various pastimes. Some locals call this place as Phishalini or Shikalini, which are corrupted forms of Phishalni.
