Text

In the course of this story, I have given a description of Lord GopÄla’s mercy. After seeing the GopÄla Deity, ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu went to ÅšrÄ« KÄmyavana.

Purport

KÄmyavana is mentioned in the Ä€di-varÄha PurÄṇa:

caturthaá¹ kÄmyaka-vanaá¹ vanÄnÄá¹ vanam uttamam
tatra gatvÄ naro devi mama loke mahÄ«yate

Lord Åšiva said, “The best of all forests is the fourth of these, named KÄmyaka. O goddess DevÄ«, any person who goes there is eligible to enjoy the glories of my abode.â€

In the Bhakti-ratnÄkara (Fifth Wave) it is also said:

ei kÄmyavane kṛṣṇa-lÄ«lÄ manohara
karibe darÅ›ana sthÄna kuṇá¸a bahutara
kÄmyavane yata tÄ«rtha lekhÄ nÄhi tÄra

“In this KÄmyavana, Kṛṣṇa performed enchanting pastimes. Here you will be able to take darÅ›ana of many ponds and other transcendental spots. I cannot even describe in writing all the sacred tÄ«rthas found at KÄmyavana.â€
