Between NandeÅ›vara and MahÄvana is a place named Vá¹›ndÄvana. This place is very suitable because it is lush with grass, plants and creepers for the cows and other animals. It has nice gardens and tall mountains and is full of facilities for the happiness of all the gopas and gopÄ«s and our animals.
Vá¹›ndÄvana is situated between NandeÅ›vara and MahÄvana. Formerly the cowherd men had shifted to MahÄvana, but still there were disturbances. Therefore the cowherd men selected Vá¹›ndÄvana, which was between the two villages, and decided to go there.
