Purport

The Deity referred to herein as Govinda is the vijaya-vigraha in the temple of JagannÄtha. When there is a need to take JagannÄtha somewhere, the vijaya-vigraha is taken because the body of JagannÄtha is very heavy. The vijaya-vigraha in the JagannÄtha temple is known as Govinda. For the pastimes in Narendra-sarovara, the vijaya-vigraha was carried there instead of Lord JagannÄtha.
