- lohavane kṛṣṇera adbhuta go-cāraṇa
- ethā loha-jaṅghāsure vadhe bhagavān
“At Lohavana, Lord Kṛṣṇa used to tend cows. The demon named Lohajaṅgha was killed at this place.” Mahāvana is described as follows in the Bhakti-ratnākara (Fifth Wave):
- dekha nanda-yaśodā-ālaya mahāvane
- ei dekha śrī-kṛṣṇa-candrera janma sthala
- śrī-gokula, mahāvana—dui ‘eka’ haya
“Behold the house of Nanda and Yaśodā in Mahāvana. See the birthplace of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Mahāvana and the birthplace of Lord Kṛṣṇa, Gokula, are one and the same.”
