    Rajashekhara Dasa

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

    This kunda is situated within the kunja or forest grove belonging to Vishakha Devi and was formerly surrounded by many kadamba trees. This kunda is also called Mohana-kunda but it is mostly dry except in the monsoon season. Vishakha is one of the celebrated ashta-sakhis or eight prominent girlfriends or Radharani and was born on the same day and at exactly the same time as Radharani. Along with her close companion Lalita, Vishakha is one of the most intimate confidants of Radharani and is an expert in carrying messages, as well as various diplomatic dealings like consoling hurt feelings. She also knows the art of bribery, and is also ready to quarrel even with her beloved Krishna, in support of her most dear friend Radharani, if she thinks that Krishna has done wrong or hurt the feeling of Radharani.
