Body of Govardhana



  1. Radha Kunda and Syama Kunda are the eyes. 
  2. Dan Ghati and Manasi Ganga are its long neck. 
  3. Mukharavinda is the mouth, 
  4. Kusuma Sarovara its face, and 
  5. Punchari is its back and tail feathers. 
  6. A peacock often curves its neck and puts his head under its stomach. Govardhana Hill is shaped in this pose of a peacock. 
 In Govinda-lilamrita, Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami says that Govardhana Hill is shaped like a peacock and that Radha Kunda and Syama Kunda are its eyes.
