Revatii-ku.n.da



From the Wikipedia article Damodar Kund: "Close to Damodara Kund, on the westerly to the Damodarji temple is Revati Kund. The kund is 52 ft long, 52 feet broad and 37 feet deep. Because of the depth dip here is not safe for all. Revati, who was the daughter of King Raiwat, took form from the fires of pruthesthi yagna. It is said that Raivata Kakudmin or simply Kakudmi left Dwarka and moved to Girnar Hill after Revati was married to Lord Balarama. Hence, mount Girnar was also known as Raivatachal, Raivatgiri, Revatak Parvat or simply Raivata. And Junagadh was also referred to similarly. Baithakji of MahaPrabhuji is located close to Revati Kund. The founder of Pushti Sampradaya Shrimad Vallabhacharayaji (MahaPrabhuji) once visited Damodar pilgrim, where he remitted the shrimad Bhagwat. This is 64th seat of Shri Mahaprabhuji. Close to Revati kund is another mythological place, cave of Muchukunda. The cave has a temple of Lord Krishna, and a Shiv Linga established either by Lord Krishna himself or by Muchkundh. This is the place where Kalayavan, the great Yavana or Greek warrior king, who was chasing Lord Krishna was killed by Muchukunda's gaze in the Indian epic Mahābhārata."

From Shri Radha Damodarji Temple's website: "On the west side of Damodarji temple is situated the Revati Kund. Revati kund is bonded with the divine marriage of Shri Balramji and Revatiji. The length of this Revati kund is 52 feet, breadth 52 feet and depth 37 feet. Ast he Revati kund is quite deep it is beneficiary to do ritualys on the steps of the river. Only the swimmers who are well-versed with their swimming should take bath inside the river.

"Shri Revatiji sits at the left side of Shri Balramji as his wife. In Junagadh there was an ancient city named Raiwat nagar. Revati, who was the daughter of King Raiwat, appeared in the form of Kanya Ratna as Prasad of the pruthesthi yagna. She was engaged to Shri Balramji."
