Sakhisthali is the place of Chandravali.

This is where she used to meet with Krishna and is not far from Shyama Kunda.

Once a man wanted to give Raghunath dasa Gosvami some yoghurt to drink from a cup of Kadamba leaf.

Raghunatha asked the man where he got that yoghurt from.

The man replied:

“Oh! I got it from Sakhisthali. “

Immediately Raghunatha withdrew angrily exclaiming:

“I won’t take it, I won’t take it! Why do you offer me something that comes from Sakhisthali? Don’t you know this is Chandravali’s place? “

Enraged with that man he left.

Raghunatha das Gosvami thought:

“I am exclusively the servant of Srimati Radhika’s servant. It is not appropriate that I ever take anything from Chandravali. She is the rival of her whom I eternally adore. So I will go away from this person, otherwise my bhajan will be ruined. “
