    Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami

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

    In the eastern part of Jāvaṭa are a temple of Kiśorījī and Kiśorī- kuṇḍa. Sometimes, Śrī Kṛṣṇa used to play in the water of this kuṇḍa with Śrī Rādhikā and the sakhīs. This kuṇḍa is sprinkled with the kuṅkum, saffron and other cosmetics from the bodies of the sakhīs and is still decorated with the memories of these pastimes, which are full of sweetness (mādhurya).

    Rajashekhara Dasa

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

    This kunda was one of the places where Radharani enjoyed pastimes with Her sakhis. It is said that Krishna would also enjoy water sports known as jal-krida pastimes with Radharani and the gopis in this kunda. Situated on the bank of the kunda is the Shri Kishoriji Mandira and nearby is Chira-kunda, where there is a Jhulan-sthali commemorating Radha and Krishna’s swing pastimes that took place here.
