³Ņ“DZčÄå±ō²¹±č³Ü°łÄ« (ą¤—ą„‹ą¤Ŗą¤¾ą¤²ą¤Ŗą„ą¤°ą„€).—As on the summit of Mount Meru are seven cities that fulfill all desires, so on the Earth are seven cities that fulfill desires and grant liberation. Among them the city of Gopāla-purÄ« (Mathurā) is directly the spiritual world. Protected by my cakra, this city of Mathurā, or Gopāla-purÄ«, stands in this world as a lotus stands in a lake.

Gopāla-purī contains these forests:

  1. the great forest of Bį¹›hadvana;
  2. Madhuvana, the former residence of the Madhu demon;
  3. Tālavana, full of palm trees;
  4. the delightful Kāmyavana;
  5. the great Bahulāvana;
  6. Kumudavana, full of lotus flowers and water lilies;
  7. Khadiravana, full of Khadira trees; 8. Bhadravana, the favorite spot of Lord Balarāma;
  8. Bhāṇdiravana, the great forest of Banyan trees;
  9. Śrīvana, the abode of the goddess of fortune;
  10. Lohavana, the former residence of the demon Loha;
  11. Vį¹›ndāvana, ruled by the goddess Vį¹›ndā-devÄ«.

The forests of Gopāla-purÄ« are divided into two groups: 1. Kṛṣṇavana, or Kṛṣṇa’s forests, and 2. Bhadravana, Balarāma’s forests. Among these twelve forests some are sacred and others are more sacred.
