Near Sunaharä-gaon, to the south-west, is a vast grove of kadamb trees (a kadamba-khandi). This is the location of a räsa mandala and of Ratna-Kund. In the month of Bhädra on the Caturdasi of the bright moon, Räsa-lilä is enacted here according to büdhi-lilä.
Näbhä ji’s place of bhajana is also in the kadamba-khandi. Näbhä ji’s previous name was Catura-Cintämani, and he was born in Paya- gaon in Vraja. From childhood, he performed bhajana in an isolated grove of kadamba trees, being detached from the material world. He was a great renunciant. It is said that he would remain absorbed in meditation on different pastimes.
Once, while being thus absorbed, he began to pick flowers for the service of Priyä- Priyatama (Rädhä-Krishna). He had very long matted hair, which on this occasion became entangled in a thorny bush. He remained standing in that same position for three days. Kisora and Kisori (Rädhä-Krishna) appeared there and started disentangling his hair from the bush.
“Who are you?” Näbhä ji asked.
Kisori ji smiled, indicating with Her eyes that Syämasundara Himself was disentangling his matted locks. Then, suddenly, They both disappeared.
Näbhä ji’s life had become blessed. He rolled about on the ground, weeping. He later came to Vrinndävana to reside at Vihära-ghät.
