Deha-Kunda
This Kunda is situated to the west just below Lalitä-Sthala. Once, Shri Rädhä and Shri Krishna together with the sakhis were bathing here during a festival. As they were dressing themselves after bathing, a poor brähmana came there and in a piteous voice addressed Shri Krishna, “I have a daughter of marriageable age, but due to lack of money, I cannot offer her to a suitable husband. Therefore, please give me some wealth.”
Shri Krishana thought, “Rädhä is My only and entire wealth. But for Her, I possess nothing else of value.” So He told the brähmana, “I want to give you My entire fortune, not just a little money.” He then pointed towards Shri Rädhä and said, “She is My entire property and wealth. Please accept Her.”
When the poor brähmana heard this, he began to beat his head in sadness. He said, “O Vrajendraa-Nandana, I could not even arrange a suitable husband for my one daughter; how will I ever be able to marry off two? This is disastrous for me. What should I do now?”
The brähmana only wanted gold. Understanding this, Shri Krishna put Priyä ji on one side of a scale and Her weight in gold on the other. He then gave all this gold to the brähmana. Shri radha Ji also became pleased with this arrangement, which relieved Her of much trouble. The brähmana was given an abundance of gold and very happily returned to his home, where he completed the marriage of his daughter with a grand celebration.
It is also said that once a wealthy person was suffering severely from leprosy. He came here, bathed in this kunda, and donated ten karña (160 grams) of gold to qualified brähmanas. After some time, his disease left him.
