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
karaye kṛṣṇa stuti aśeṣa viśeṣe
“Brahmā offered prayers to Kṛṣṇa in Caumuṅhā-grāma.”
