Shri Vallabhacharya - About Braj Raj (Dust of Braj)

There was one Vaishnav named Prabhu Das Jaloṭa. One day He went to Radha Kund. At that time, Mahaprabhu Shri Vallabhacharya was also there with the devotees. When Das Jalota came near them, Mahaprabhu said his devotees to give prasad to him too. Then Prabhu Das Jalota said: "He hadn't taken bath yet, Let me take a bath, and then I will take prasad".
Suddenly Mahaprabhu replied to him:
"Arey vraksh vraksh venudhari aur patre patre chaturbhuj, yatr vrindavane tatr snatava snatava kathtaj"
Prabhu Das Ji, Here in Braj, Shree Krishn resides in every tree and even in every leaf, Shri Krishn has shown and proved it to Lord Brahma, You are in the same Braj. What do you think of this Braj Raj (dust of Braj)? Do you think this to be an ordinary soil? For a place like Braj, one should not think about whether he has taken a bath or not. Here Braj Raj (dust of Braj) is called "Braj Rani" i.e. Queen. All glories to Braj Raj.
