Sri Pulina (Vṛndāvana)

“O Jiva! Śrī Vallabha is now in Gokula. When you go there, you will be able to see him.” Saying this, Nityananda happily went south to Paraḍāngā in Śrī Pulina. Here he showed the place where Sri Rasa-mandala and Dhira-samira of Vraja were located. He said, “O Jīva, this is Vṛndāvana. One can see the Vṛndāvana pastimes here.” Upon hearing the word ‘Vṛndāvana,’ Jīva began trembling and tears flowed from his eyes.
The Lord continued, “Gauranga brought His devotees here, and they performed kirtana describing the rasa-lila. The place of the rāsa-lila in Vṛndāvana is situated here on the bank of the Ganges. The rasa-līlā pastimes with the gopis, which are eternally enacted here, are sometimes seen by fortunate persons.
“Listen sober-minded one, west of here, see Śri Dhira-samira, a nice place for worship of the Lord. In Vṛndāvana, Dhira-samira is situated on the bank of the Yamuna, and here it lies on the bank of the Ganges. Actually what you see, however, is not the bank of the Ganges, but that of the Yamuna, which flows on the western side of the Ganges. As this beautiful Pulina lies on the bank of the Yamuna, Viśvambhara therefore calls this place Vṛndāvana. You should know that all the pastime places of Vṛndāvana are situated within this place. Make no distinction between Vṛndāvana and Navadvipa, nor between Gauranga and Kṛṣṇa.”
In this way, overwhelmed with ecstatic love, Nityananda Rāya took Jiva and showed him around Vṛndāvana. Then, heading some distance to the north, they spent the night in Rudradvīpa.
With the lotus feet of Nitai and Jahnava as my only wealth, Bhaktivinoda sings this glorification of Nadia.

Arriving at Pulina, Gauranga, chanting the name of Kṛṣṇa, saw that place as nondifferent from Vṛndāvana. Seeing the place of the rāsa-lilā along with His associates, He began to sing appropriate verses from the Bhagavatam. O Devi, at the Rasa-manḍala in Pulina, the Lord attained the state of mahābhāva while remembering the rasa-lila of Kṛṣṇa. At that time drums sounded from the sky and showers of flowers fell to the earth. The sages chanted the Chandogya Upanisad and other Vedic verses. Finally when the name of Krsna was chanted in His ear, the long-armed Lord recovered and loudly chanted Hare Kṛṣṇa!’ He then went off to the bank of the Ganges.
