The kund here is called by different names as either Kumudini Kund ,Padma kunda or Vihar Kund. While herding the cows, Shri Krishna, Shri Balram and the cowherd boys wandered throughout this delightful place. Shri Krishna Himself sported in this kund with the cowherd boys and with sweet words He would summon the cows to the bank of the pond by exclaiming, &#8220;Tiri tiri!&#8221; And then with &#8220;Chun-Chun!&#8221; He would tell them to drink water. The boys decorated each other with garlands made of kumudini flowers. Sometimes Krishna hid from His sakhas and, unseen by them, He sported in the water here with Radhika, Lalita, Vishakha and other Gopis. There is currently a deity of Shri Kapiladev on the bank of this kund. Lord Kapila worshipped Shri Krishna at this place.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1108\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hj55RdPKfsM\" title=\"Golden Jubilee Vraj Mandal Parikrama \u2013 Day 2: Talvan &amp; Kumudvan\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"cardx\">\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>I Will Stand Like Napoleon<\/strong><br \/>\nHH Indradyumna Swami discusses a verse from the \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam highlighting the qualities of a s\u0101dhu\u2014tolerance, mercy, and devotion.
