Once, the very playful Sri Krsna eagerly desired to meet Srimati Radhika, but because of the obstacles created by Her mother-in-law Jatila, sister-in-law Kutila and husband Abhimanyu, Srimati Radhika could not get to Their appointed meeting place. After waiting for a long time, Krsna climbed a tall tree and sweetly began to imitate the sound of a cuckoo. Hearing the loud and delightful call of this astonishing cuckoo bird, Srimati Radhika and the sakhis understood that it was a signal from Krsna and became eager and restless to meet with Him. At that time, Jatila addressed Visakha, saying,"Visakha, I have heard cuckoo birds make so many beautiful sounds, but I have never heard anything like the wonderful and lengthy melody this bird sings today." Visakha replied," Dadiji, we also have never heard anything like it. This is certainly an amazing cuckoo bird. With your permission, we would like to go out and see it for ourselves." The old woman gladly gave permission for the sakhis to go. They very happily entered the forest, and thus Krsna was able to meet with Radha. This is how this place became known as Kokilavana.
