Vraj Mandal Parikarma – by Rajshekhar Das Brahmacari
The Bhakti-ratnakara says. “On Chandrasena-parvata is Pichalni-shila. At this place
Krishna plays along with His friends. Sitting in a bending form they slid down the rock again
and again.” Situated on the side of a hill is this natural rock slide that is used even today by the
local children. Krishna and His friends used to come here for herding the cows and would enjoy
many long hours playing on this slide. The word ‘pichalni’ means ‘sliding stone’ and ‘shila’ means
a ‘stone’ or ‘rock’. The hill on which the Pichalni-shila is found is known as Chandrasena Parvata,
but is known locally as Pichal Pihari. The word ‘pihari’ means a ‘hill’. Locals also refer to this rock
slide as Khisasini-shila or Pishalini-shila, which are both corruptions of the word Pichalni-shila.
The village of Kalavati is the place where the Pichalni-shila is located. The word ‘kalavati’
means the ‘place of the dance’ and it was here where the gopis assembled and engaged in singing
songs glorifying Krishna and dancing in circles with one-another. When Krishna heard the
rhythmic jingling of the gopi’s ankle bells and the sweet sound of their singing, He came here
to witness the wonderful dance performance of the cowherd girls

This stone slide (phisalané-çilä) is situated on the Indrasena Hill near Kalävatä-gräma. While grazing the cows, Çré Kåñëa and the sakhäs used to slide here. Çrématé Rädhikä sometimes used to slide here also, along with Her sakhés. To this day, the boys of the nearby village take great pleasure in sliding down this hill when they graze their cows. Pilgrims also come to take darçana of this slide, where these joyful episodes took place.
