Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura gives the following information about Govinda-kuṇḍa. There is a village named Āniyora on Govardhana Hill, a little distance from the village of Paiṭhā. Govinda-kuṇḍa is situated near here, and there are two temples to Govinda and Baladeva there. According to some, Queen Padmāvatī excavated this lake. In the Bhakti-ratnākara (Fifth Wave), the following statement is found:
#dl##dd#ei śrī-govinda-kuṇḍa-mahimā aneka#/dd#
#dd#ethā indra kaila govindera abhiṣeka#/dd##/dl#
"Govinda-kuṇḍa is exalted for its many spiritual activities. It was here that Indra was defeated by Lord Kṛṣṇa, and Indra offered his prayers and bathed Lord Govinda." In the book Stavāvalī (Vraja-vilāsa-stava 74) the following verse is found:
#dl##dd#nīcaiḥ prauḍha-bhayāt svayaṁ surapatiḥ pādau vidhṛtyeha yaiḥ#/dd#
#dd#svar-gaṅgā-salilaiś cakāra surabhi-dvārābhiṣekotsavam#/dd#
#dd#govindasya navaṁ gavām adhipatā rājye sphuṭaṁ kautukāt#/dd#
#dd#tair yat prādurabhūt sadā sphuratu tad govinda-kuṇḍaṁ dṛśoḥ#/dd##/dl#
In the Mathurā-khaṇḍa it is also stated:
#dl##dd#yatrābhiṣikto bhagavān#/dd#
#dd#maghonā yadu-vairiṇā#/dd#
#dd#govinda-kuṇḍaṁ taj-jātaṁ#/dd#
#dd#snāna-mātreṇa mokṣadam#/dd##/dl#
"Simply by bathing in Govinda-kuṇḍa, one is awarded liberation. This lake was produced when Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa was bathed by Lord Indra."
#$p#Gāṅṭhuli-grāma is situated near the two villages Bilachu and Gopāla-pura. According to hearsay, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa first met here. In the Bhakti-ratnākara (Fifth Wave), it is stated: sakhī duṅha vastre gāṅṭhi dila saṅgopane. It is also stated: phāguyā laiyā keha gāṅṭhi khuli' dilā. For this reason the village is known as Gāṅṭhuli.

“With humility caused by great fear, Indra took hold of the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa and, in the company of a #i#surabhi#/i# cow, performed His coronation festival by bathing Him with the waters of the heavenly Ganges River. Thus Lord Kṛṣṇa’s kingship over the cows became splendidly manifest. I pray that Govinda-kuṇḍa, the lake created by that ceremonial bath, may eternally appear before my eyes.”
