vaikuntha-pura-madhye tu
drishtva nihsreyasam vanam
brahmanim viraja-pare
gatavan sri-mahatpuram
“The Lord took darsana of Nihsreyasavana in Vaikunthapura and Brahmaninagara on the bank of the Viraja and then went to Sri Mahatpura.” (Navadvipa-dhamamahatmya, Pramana-khanda 4. 47)
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura writes in his Navadvipa-bhava-taranga: “From Modadrumadvipa I will slowly go to Sri Vaikunthapura where I will see the Nihsreyasa forest filled with abundant opulence. At that place, Lord Narayana, the Lord of paravyoma (Vaikuntha), who is worshiped by all the demigods, resides along with His three energies eternally. Even if my Lord Sri Krishna is endowed with the highest sweetness, as Isvara He is also the storehouse of all opulence. Vrajendranandana Sri Krishna is never bereft of opulence, but this opulence does not manifest to His pure devotees. Out of His supreme mercy, that Lord of all lords, hiding His opulence, manifested His Gauranga form to please the heart of Narada Muni. Upon seeing that form I will drown in the ocean of bliss and cry loudly.”
