76. Yashoda Kund
Yashoda Kund is the place where Mother Yashoda would come to
have bath along with baby Krishna and Balram. Sometimes Krishna and Balram
would enjoy the sports with their cowherd friends in this Kund. Hau-Bilau is located on
the western bank of Yashoda Kund. It is believed that often Krishna and Balram
would get so much absorbed in the notorious games with their friends that they
would even forgot to go to home for lunch. Then, Yashoda Mayi would herself
come to the place to get them back to home. Noticing, mother Yashoda
approaching them, Krishna and Balram would run away. Sometimes, mother Yashoda
would narrate them the story of Hau-Bilau, terrifying both the brothers and
thus easily catching them to bring back home for feeding and bathing. When
Krishna and Balram would not listen to her, she would horrify them with
Hau-Bilau. Listening about Hau-Bilau, both the brothers would be frightened and
ran to their mother. The stony figure representing haua, being present at the
place even today reminds of this beautiful pastime of Lord Krishna
