The cows were milked (godohana) here at the time of Krishna\u2019s manifest pastimes.<\/span>
\nThis was the cowshed of the many hundred of thousands of cows belonging to Vrishabhanu Maharaja.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One day, Kisori Radhika was watching the cows being milked, and She too desired to milk them.<\/span>
\nShe took a clay pot and proceeded to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mischievous Krishna arrived at that spot and said,<\/span>
\n\u201cSakhi, don\u2019t You know how to milk a cow? Come, I will teach You.\u201d<\/span>
\nAnd He sat down next to Her.<\/span>
\n\u201cO Mohana, teach Me,\u201d<\/span>
\nRadhika said, and She placed Herself in front of Him.<\/span>
\n\u201cAll right. You milk from two teats and I will milk from the other two, and keep looking at Me.\u201d<\/span>
\nLaughing, Krishna started to milk.<\/span>
\nSuddenly, He aimed a jet of milk at Radha\u2019s face, saturating Her with it.<\/span>
\nHe and the other sakhis started laughing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This charming pastime has been described in the following Brajabhasha poem:<\/span>
\namem samem baith dou dohat karat<\/span>
\nthathor dudh dhar mukh par<\/span>
\npadat drig bhaye candr cakor.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The milk given by the cows in Dohani Kunda used to be distributed to everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many other transcendental pastimes happened in this place. Radharani used to play with the gopis there, throwing earth to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location<\/span><\/strong>
\nWhile doing parikrama of Varsana, if instead to go to Gahvaravana you turn left, you find Dohani Kunda.<\/span>
\nNot many devotees visit this place and actually I saw that not many know of the existence of this Kunda.<\/span><\/p>\n

This pond is situated south of Gahvaravana and south-west of the village of Ciksauli.<\/span><\/p>\n
