Many sadhus used to assemble there, and listen to the Hari kirtan carried on by Paramanandadasa, the noted bhakta. Once Paramananda had a vision of Shri Krishna seated on the lap of a very fortunate bhakta. Shri Krishna's countenance had blossomed elegantly. His head was adorned with a peacock feather. His eyes were beautiful with khajal; His ears were decorated with glittering ear-rings; He had a shimmering blue complexion; He was wearing innumerable jewels; He was tasting the butter that He had in his hands; the Child looked extremely charming as He was unclad. That dear one of Yashoda, the lover of butter, Shri Krishna was looking at Paramanandadasa and was lisping some sweet words. Paramanandadasa, the bhakta was enchanted by Shri Krishna, who appeared in the form of a child. He asked that most fortunate bhakta the following question.
