Text

“ ‘Of all the devotees, this Govardhana Hill is the best! O my friends, this hill supplies Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma, as well as Their calves, cows and cowherd friends, with all kinds of necessities — water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers and vegetables. In this way the hill offers respect to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma, Govardhana Hill appears very jubilant.’ â€

This is a quotation from ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam (10.21.18). It was spoken by the gopÄ«s when Lord Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma entered the forest in the autumn. The gopÄ«s spoke among themselves and glorified Kṛṣṇa and BalarÄma for Their pastimes.
