\u201cThere was one Vrajav\u0101s\u012b (inhabitant of Vraja) named D\u0101sa who loved Raghun\u0101tha D\u0101sa Gosv\u0101m\u012b very much. He went to the village of Sakh\u012bsthal\u012b (close to the town of Govardhana) and found a big leafcup there, which he brought along, thinking of Raghun\u0101tha D\u0101sa Gosv\u0101m\u012b, who had given up eating all solid food out of coarse separation from R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b. D\u0101sa thought: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is Raghun\u0101tha D\u0101sa\u2019s rule to drink only one cup of buttermilk a day. When I give Him this bigger leafcup he can eat a little more\u201d, and brought some buttermilk from his house to fill up the big leafcup. When he came before him, Raghun\u0101tha D\u0101sa Gosv\u0101m\u012b, seeing the new cup, asked him: \u201cWhere did you get this big leaf cup from?\u201d D\u0101sa said: \u201cI went to Sakh\u012b-sthal\u012b to herd my cows and I found this good leaf cup there and brought it to you!\u201d Hearing the name \u2018Sakh\u012b-sthal\u012b\u2019, Raghun\u0101tha D\u0101sa became filled with anger and threw the leaf cup with the buttermilk far away. After some time he calmed down and told D\u0101sa: \u201cThat is the place where Candr\u0101val\u012b lives! Don\u2019t go there!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
