Parikramä‑khaëòa

See one of those ponds near Çrédhara’s beautiful banana patch. Mahäprabhu would sometimes play in the water here and then take Çrédhara’s bananas. Even now Çrédhara takes his banana flowers and banana stem vegetables to Çacé with great happiness. “Nearby this place is Mayamäré. Listen to the story from the Puräëas . When Baladeva was on pilgrimage, He came to Navadvépa to take rest. The brähmaëas there told Him about the Mayäsura demon. Hearing about the disturbance that the demon was causing, Baladeva quickly came running to meet the demon in the field. A great battle ensued between Balaräma and the demon, and at last the demon was killed. Since then the place has been called Mayamäré. This is a very old story I am telling you. In Våndävana, this tértha is called Tälavana, and it is visible to those who are fortunate.” That night they all stayed there, and the next day, with cries of, “Hari! Hari!” they continued their pilgrimage. Aspiring only to attain the shade of the lotus feet of Jähnavä and Nityänanda, this servant reveals the glorification of Nadia.
