“Of all the devotees, this Govardhana Hill is the best! O my friends, this hill supplies KrÌ£sÌ£nÌ£a and BalarÄma, as well as Their calves, cows and cowherd friends, with all kinds of necessities — water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers and vegetables. In his way the hill offers respect to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of KrÌ£sÌ£nÌ£a and BalarÄma, Govardhana Hill appears very jubilant.†(ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam,10.21.18)
