SB 10.36.15

The puranas describe how Radha kunda and Shyama kunda appeared after the killing of Aristasura as a result of a conversation between Radha and Krsna. "O sinful killer of a bull! Do not touch me today." "O foolish woman! This is not a bull, but a terrible demon." "O Krsna, that may be true, but he belongs to the species of cattle, just as Vrtrasura, though a demon, was still a brahmana." "O Radha! What is the acquittal for this act?" "You will become pure by performing the austerity of bathing in all the holy waters of the three worlds." "How will I go around the three worlds? I will bring all the holy places here and bathe in them. Just watch now." Saying that, Mukunda stamped on the earth with his heel, making a hole, and said, "Come here." All the holy waters came there along from Ganga situated in Patala with their presiding deities. Krsna said to the gopis, "Behold all the holy waters!" But they did not believe his words. The presiding deities, folding their hands, came forward and introduced themselves. "I am the salt ocean. I am the milk ocean. I am the svarga dighi, I am the red ocean. I am the Tamraparni,. I am Puskara, I am Sarasvati I am Godavari I am Yamuna. I am Sarayu, I am Prayaga. I am Reva." "See all these waters and believe me." Bathing in the waters Krsna became clean. "I have made one lake in which all the tirthas reside. None of you have performed such pious work." Hearing this, Radha said to her friends, "We must also make an attractive kunda. You should construct one with great care." West of Krsna’s kunda, where Arista had made a hole with his foot, the gopis began to take earth in their hands and in two and half hours made a beautiful kunda. Seeing their kunda, Krsna began to think of having rasa. "O lotus eyed Radha, please take some of the holy water from my kunda and fill up your kunda." Hearing this Radha said, "No, no! That water is no good, coming from one who has sinfully killed a bull. I will fill up this kunda with a thousand pots of water from Manasa Ganga. By this my fame will be spread throughout the universe." Taking the cue from Krsna all the holy waters of his kunda, taking on one transcendental form, approached Radha, offered obeisances, and with folded hands and tears in her eyes, began to offer praises. "O goddess, those who know scripture do not know your glories. Brahma does not know, nor Siva, nor Laksmi. Only Krsna, best of men, who wipes the perspiration from your limbs, who decorates your feet with skilful designs and puts your anklets on your feet knows. Just getting the glance from your lotus eye, we will think ourselves superbly fortunate and will reach the highest bliss. We reside in this place made by Krsna’s heel. On his order we have come here. If you are pleased, give your merciful glance. Then our desire tree will be able to bear fruit." Being satisfied with the praises of the tirthas, Radha said, "Know that your desire has been fulfilled." The tirthas clearly stated their desire. "Our lives will be successful if we can enter your kunda. This is the boon we pray for." Then Radha, glancing at Krsna, said, "Come, come." Hearing this, the same minded gopis became submerged in ecstasy. All moving and non moving creatures became enlivened. Having attained the mercy of Radha, all the tirthas broke their bank and swiftly flowed into Radha’s kunda, filling it up. Krsna said, "O most beloved! May your kunda become more famous in the world than mine. In your kunda I will perform water pastimes I will bathe there daily. As you are most dear to me, so is your kunda" Radha said, "Along with my frineds, I will also bathe in Radha kunda. May the kunda destroy a hundred misfortunes. I will be most pleased with that person who shows devotion to this kunda, who bathes in it, and who resides near it." The lightening form of Radha, whose glory is spread throughout the three worlds, who causes a shower of blissful rasa from the cloud of Krsna, performs rasa lila at Radha kunda nightly.
