In his kingdom there was a hill named Govardhana. Go means "cow" and vardhana means "increases." The hill was very appropriately named, for it amply nourished all the surabhi cows by providing fresh grass for the cows to eat. Decorated with many jewels, swiftly moving streams, caves that appeared to be palaces, and nice fruits and flowers, this hill earnestly served Nanda Maharaja.
