Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara)

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Pili- pokhara



Once, the unmarried daughter of Kirtida, Srimati Radhika, and Her sakhis went to Nandgaon to see Yasoda-maiya. Charmed by srimati Radhika's beauty and qualities, Yasoda-maiya desired in her heart to marry Radhika to her son Krsna and thus have Her as her daughter-in-law. So great was her desire that she painted Kisori Radha's hands yellow. Radhika's heart became very happy but, as She returned to Her father's house in Varsana, She became quite embarrassed. She washed and scrubbed Her hands in this pond, and the pond's water turned yellow. This pond is therefore called pili-pokhara, "the yellow pond".
