Davanal Kund and Davanal Bihari - Vrindavan
Davanal means "forest fire".
On the day Kaliyanag was subdued, Krishna and Balram and the gopas and gopis could not return to their residences in Chhatikara as night had already fallen.
They moved away from the poisonous Kaliya Dah to a lake a little distance away to the east.
The water of this lake was clean and sweet, and after drinking water they rested here. Seeing a good opportunity to kill Krishna and His associates, the servants of the wicked Kansa set this forest ablaze in all directions.
Very soon, a devastating fire raged throughout the forest. Krishna told everyone to close his eyes.
He also closed His eyes, and at once swallowed that devastating forest fire as if it were cool water.
The pond where this pastime took place is called Davanal-kund.
Location:
Davanal kund is apprx 1.5 km from Shri Radha Vallabh temple and apprx 2.5 km from Shri Banke Bihari temple, Vrindavan.
