Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 1 Text 5 jayati jayati vṛndāraṇyam etan murāreḥ priya-tamam ati-sādhu-svānta-vaikuṇṭha-vāsāt ramayati sa sadā gāḥ pālayan yatra gopīḥ svarita-madhura-veṇur vardhayan prema rāse   TRANSLATION All glories, all glories to this place where we are living, Lord Murāri’s Vṛndāvana forest! He prefers residing here to residing in Vaikuṇṭha or in the hearts of elevated saints. In Vṛndāvana, while always tending His cows, He gives pleasure to the gopīs, whose love for Him in the mood of the rāsa dance He increases by sweetly playing His flute.
