    Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami

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

    Daīgaon lies three miles south of Hoḍal, and is where Kṛṣṇa and His sakhās looted yoghurt from the gopīs on the excuse of collecting tax. Here, one can have darśana of Dadhi-kuṇḍa, Madhusūdana- kuṇḍa, Śṛṅgāra Mandira, Śītala-kuṇḍa and Sapta-vṛkṣa-maṇḍalī. On the bank of Śītala-kuṇḍa under a kadamba tree is a sitting-place of Śrī Vallabhācārya.

    Rajashekhara Dasa

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

    One day the gopis were carrying many large pots of yogurt to the nearby market and while passing this place they were suddenly set upon and looted of their yogurt pots by Krishna and the cowherd boys, who were out to have some fun in the name of tax collection and enjoy a free feast of yogurt at the expense of the gopis. The words ‘dadi, ‘dadhi’, or ‘dahi’ means yogurt, and because this pastime of stealing the gopi’s yogurt occurred at this place, the village achieved the name Dadi Grama. One can see in the village Dadhi-kunda, Sitala-kunda, and Madhusudana-kunda.
