   * Possibly is this bhajan of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thhākura. Once, at an arranged public programme in Cuttak, when the king of Orissa came, Sarasvati Thakura asked Ananta Vasudeva to sing "Sri Vraja-dhama-mahimamrta (The Nectarean Glories of Vraja-dhama)" which describes Vrndavan, Radha kund, Govardhan hill, etc. Sarasvati Thakura later explained these topics in his room.
