Dabhararo
After seeing Radhika here, Krishna's eyes brimmed with tears. The word dabhararo means "full of tears", and this village therefore became known by that name. Dabhararo is situated two miles south of Barsana.
Rasoli
One-and-a-half miles south-west of Dabhararo is Rasoli, where Radha and Krishna performed the famous Ras along with the gopis. This is the birthplace of Tungavidya Sakhi. Tungavidya's father is Puskar Gopa, her mother is Medha Gopi, and her husband is Valisa. She is one of the main eight sakhis, and is fully expert in dancing, singing, playing instrumental music, astrology, writing poetry, cooking and various other arts. Tungavidya Sakhi is also skilled in understanding the language of birds and animals, and in arranging for Radha and Krishna's meeting.
Pili Pokhar
Surrounding this pond are pilu trees that produce fruits in abundance. On the pretext of collecting pilu fruits, Radhika would come here to perform varieties of playful pastimes. Shri Krishna would also come here from Nand gaon and enact many pastimes with Her. Once, the unmarried daughter of Kirtida, Radhika, and Her sakhis went to Nand Gaon to see Yashoda-maiya. Charmed by Radhika's beauty and qualities, Yashoda-maiya desired in her heart to marry Radhika to her son Krishna and thus have Her as her daughter-in-law. So great was her desire that she painted Kishori Radha's hands yellow. Radhika's heart became very happy but, as She returned to Her father's house in Barsana, She became quite embarrassed. She washed and scrubbed Her hands in this pond, and the pond's water turned yellow. This pond is therefore called Piri-pokhar or Pili-pokhar, "the yellow pond". It is also called Piyala-kund because piyala trees surround it.
Brajesvar Mahadev
Near Bhanu Sarovar is the deity of devadidev Mahadev (Shiva), which was installed by Vrishabhanu Baba and the other gopas to fulfil their desires. The Vrajvasis worship him for their welfare. According to hearsay, some Vrajavasis once desired to remove this deity from here and take him to a better place. As they dug, the deity of Mahadev increased in depth, and they were unable to reach the deity's base. In the end, they gave up the idea of removing this deity, understanding that this was the appropriate place for him, and begged Mahadev for forgiveness.
