    Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami

    From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:

    Being fearful, Brahmā repented and praised Śrī Kṛṣṇa with his four mouths (cār mūkhā) at this place; therefore, this village is called Caumuṅhā. It lies on the Mathurā–Delhi highway one mile west of Parkhama and approximately eight miles from Mathurā. One mile from Caumuṅhā is a very beautiful village named Ajhaī, where one can have darśana of an ancient deity of Brahmā. Today, Caumuṅhā is simply known as Caumā. Bhakti-ratnākara affirms:

    caumuṅhā grāme brahmā āṁsi kṛṣṇapāśe
    karaye kṛṣṇa stuti aśeṣa viśeṣe
    “Brahmā offered prayers to Kṛṣṇa in Caumuṅhā-grāma.”
