Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This is the deity served by Svāmī Śrī Hitahari-vaṁśa Mahārāja, who received the deity of Śrī Rādhā-Vallabha as dowry at his wedding. There is no deity of Śrī Rādhikā with Śrī Rādhā-Vallabha, but there is a crown on the altar instead, which is worshipped as Śrī Rādhikā. This deity is very attractive.
Rajashekhara Dasa
From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This is another of Vrindavana’s famous temples popular among the local Vrajavasis. The original temple was established by Hit Harivamsa, the founder of the Radhavallabha-sampradaya. He was a philosopher-poet who composed a number of devotional songs, similar to the songs of Swami Haridasa. The original temple, which can still be seen, was built a number of years after the Govindaji Temple. The Radha-Vallabha temple was also desecrated by the forces of Emperor Aurangzeb in 1670, after which a new temple adjacent to the old one was built where the Deity is now worshiped.
