KB 10.58.17
When both the Kṛṣṇas, namely Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, reached the bank of the Yamunā (Arjuna is sometimes called Kṛṣṇa, as is Draupadī), they washed their hands, feet and mouths and drank the clear water of the Yamunā. While resting and drinking water, they saw a beautiful girl of marriageable age walking alone on the bank of the Yamunā.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
The two were standing in a high chariot (mahā-rathau) so that they could see a great distance. They saw an attractive girl moving about (carantīm), trying to hide herself on hearing the sound of the chariot, or they saw a girl performing (carantīm) austerities in order to concentrate her mind on Kṛṣṇa. In either case it is not said they saw her and she saw them. They saw her only. Arjuna and Kṛṣṇa are called two Kṛsṇas because of they were attracted to each other by mutual friendship. The girl had a most beautiful form (cāru-darśaṇām).
