Visrama-kunda

 

Close by is Mathura, where Kamsa took birth in Kali-yuga in the family of yavanas. After purifying Kamsa through His kirtana and discussions, Gaurasundara went to twelve tirthas on the Ganges and then to Sridhara’s house, which is the same as Sudama’s house. O Parvati, in that place is a pond called Visrama-kunda.
(Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, Pramana-Khanda, Chapter 4)

In the middle of Madhuvana is Visrama‑sthana, the place of Sridhara’s cottage and a clean pond. After rectifying the Kazi, Gauranga came here with His associates and took rest. When will I shout “Gauranga!” and roll on the ground crying at a secluded place here at Visrama-sthana? Then, overwhelmed in love, I will see Sri Gaurasundara drinking water from Sridhara’s old iron pot. And when will I be fortune enough to see the young son of Saci, along with Nityananda, Advaita, Gadadhara, and Srivasa, begging for love of God while chanting and dancing in the house of Sridhara?
(Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga)

In the afternoon, Śrīvāsa took Jīva to see Ṣaṣṭhi-tīrtha. Śrīvāsa said, “Listen, Jīva. Previously, when the demigods heard that Mahāprabhu would descend at Navadvīpa, Viśvakarmā came to Nadia town. He saw that it would be hard to get water on the roads where the Lord would do kīrtana in the future. In one night he dug out sixty (ṣaṣṭhi) wide ponds, the last at the Kazi’s village. See one of those ponds near Śrīdhara’s beautiful banana patch. Mahāprabhu would sometimes play in the water here and then take Śrīdhara’s bananas. Even now Śrīdhara takes his banana flowers and banana stem vegetables to Śacī with great happiness.
(Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, Chapter 6)
