The Vrajavasis used to drink the pure and sweet water of this pond, and the gopa-ramanis would come here to fetch water. Therefore, this pond is also known as Panaghata-kunda. Krsna would come to Panaghata to meet with the gopis, and they too would eagerly make their way here to meet Krsna. While drawing water, they would become so absorbed in looking at Krsna that they were unaware whether or not they had filled their pots. The pot of their hearts, however, would at once become filled with their beloved.
There is another deep secret behind Panaghata. The gopis would come here remembering Krsna's promise or pana: "I will certainly meet you there." To fulfill His promise, Krsna ensured that He was present here, waiting for them. Thus the pana(keeping of one's promise or drawing of water)of both Krsna and gopis would be fulfilled here.
