Mukta kunda

A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma

Trees once grew here, that were full of priceless jewels, which were planted by Krishna. The pastime of this place is that while Radharani was washing her hands at Pila Pokhar, some people saw her and went and told Her parents. Her father and mother, Vrishabhanu and Kirtida were very happy that she was engaged to be married to Krishna. So they sent a plate of precious jewels and gems to Nanda and Yasoda.

Nanda and Yasoda were very joyful. But then Mother Yasoda realized that to accept the proposal of marriage they had to return a plate of precious jewels and gems to Radharani’s parents, and they did not have any. When Krishna found out about this, he decided to plant the jewels and gems that were sent by King Vrishabhanu in a field. So that trees would grow that would be full of jewels. Sure enough a big tree grew that was full of priceless jewels.

These jewels were sent to King Vrishabhanu and Queen Kirtida to accept the marriage proposal. Nanda Maharaja and Mother Yasoda went to Paurnamasi to receive her blessings for the marriage. She told them that if Radharani and Krishna got married at this particular time the marriage would not last. She said that maybe in the future they should get married, depending on their astrological charts. So the marriage was stopped.
