Lord Varaha, continuing with the description of various holy places told Prithvi about the magnificence of Govardhan parvat- “Govardhan parvat is situated near Mathura. It will have great religious importance because it will witness a great feat of mine in Dwapar Yuga. I shall lift this mountain to protect people from the incessant rain caused by Indra. There are numerous holy places of great religious significance in the vicinity of Govardhan mountain like Indra tirth, Yama tirth, Varuna tirth and Kubera tirth. There is also a famous fresh-water lake called
‘Kadamb khand’ where people perform tarpan of their ancestors.”
