vṛndāvanaṁ parityajya padam ekaṁ na gacchati Krishna never, for all eternity, takes a single step out of Vrindavan. This is his eternal abode. Even in his lila in this world when he appeared to go to Mathura or Dwarka, or when he left this universe at the end of his past times, govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami, that original Govinda, the king of madhurya-rasa, forever remains in Vrindavan, and when we have spiritual vision, when we have this appreciation, Krishna reveals himself to us.
