TRANSLATION

| offer my respectful obeisances unto Madhavendra Puri, who was given a
pot of sweet rice stolen by Sri Gopinatha, celebrated thereafter as ksira-cora.
Being pleased by Madhavendra Puri’s love, Sri Gopala, the Deity at
Govardhana, appeared to the public vision.

PURPORT

Bhaktivinoda Thakura annotates that this Gopala Deity was originally installed
by Vajra, the grandson of Krsna. Madhavendra Puri rediscovered Gopala and
established Him on top of Govardhana Hill. This Gopala Deity is still situated at
Nathadvara and is under the management of descendants of Vallabhacarya. The
worship of the Deity is very luxurious, and one who goes there can purchase
varieties of prasada by paying a small price.
