Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
The village of Sonda lies four miles north-east of Andhopa. Nanda Mahārāja’s younger brother Sananda used to live in this village. Sananda deeply loved Kṛṣṇa. Sometimes he would call for Kṛṣṇa, bathe and dress Him, seat Him next to himself, and feed Him delicious preparations.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
The name of this village is derived from the name of Krishna’s uncle Sananda, the younger brother of Nanda Maharaja, who lived with his family in this village.
