Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This village lies near Lohavana. During the Muslim rule, this village was named Ālīpura, and is still known by this name today. When Kṛṣṇa had killed Dantavakra, He crossed the Yamunā and started for Gokula, to meet with the Vrajavāsīs – His mother, father, sakhās, gopas and gopīs. They met Him at this place, crying out with great love, “Āyore, āyore, kanhaiyā! – He is coming, Kanhaiyā is coming!” Nanda Bābā’s and Yaśodā’s meeting with Kṛṣṇa brimmed with intense affection. This village therefore became known as Āyore. Bhakti-ratnākara describes this poignant scene:
kṛṣṇa dekhi dhāya gopa ānande vihvala
‘āyore āyore’ bali kare kolāhala
miliyā sabāre kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa sabe laiyā
nijālaye āilā yamunāpāra haīyā
hailā paramānanda braje ghare-ghare
pūrvamata sabā-saha śrīkṛṣṇa vihare
‘āyore’ baliyā gopa yekhāne milila
āyore nāmete grāma thatāya haīla
‘āyore āyore’ bali kare kolāhala
miliyā sabāre kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa sabe laiyā
nijālaye āilā yamunāpāra haīyā
hailā paramānanda braje ghare-ghare
pūrvamata sabā-saha śrīkṛṣṇa vihare
‘āyore’ baliyā gopa yekhāne milila
āyore nāmete grāma thatāya haīla
