The Stavāvalī (Vraja-vilāsa-stava 75), by Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, states: “When Nanda Mahārāja offered a large quantity of food to Govardhana Hill, Kṛṣṇa assumed a gigantic form and eagerly invited everyone to ask boons from Him. Then, deceiving even Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, He ate all the offered food. Let me take shelter of the place known as Annakūṭa, where Lord Kṛṣṇa enjoyed these pastimes.”

<div class="quote_translation">
Gopāla stayed in a village called Annakūṭa-grāma on Govardhana Hill. The villagers who lived in that village were mainly from Rajasthan.
</div>
<div class="text">
The village named Annakūṭa-grāma is referred to in the Bhakti-ratnākara (Fifth Wave):

<div class="quote_verse">
:gopa-gopī bhuñjāyena kautuka apāra
:ei hetu ‘āniyora’ nāma se ihāra
:annakūṭa-sthāna ei dekha śrīnivāsa 
:e-sthāna darśane haya pūrṇa abhilāṣa
</div>

“Here all the gopīs and the gopas enjoyed wonderful pastimes with Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Therefore this place is also called Āniyora. The Annakūṭa ceremony was celebrated here. O Śrīnivāsa, whoever sees this place has all his desires fulfilled.” It is also stated:

<div class="quote_verse">
:kuṇḍera nikaṭa dekha niviḍa-kānana 
:ethāi ‘gopāla’ chilā hañā saṅgopana
</div>

“Look at the dense forest near the kuṇḍa. It was there that Gopāla was concealed.” Also, the Stavāvalī (Vraja-vilāsa-stava 75), by Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, states:

<div class="quote_verse">
:vrajendra-varyārpita-bhogam uccair
:dhṛtvā bṛhat-kāyam aghārir utkaḥ
:vareṇa rādhāṁ chalayan vibhuṅkte 
:yatrānna-kūṭaṁ tad ahaṁ prapadye
</div>

“When Nanda Mahārāja offered a large quantity of food to Govardhana Hill, Kṛṣṇa assumed a gigantic form and eagerly invited everyone to ask boons from Him. Then, deceiving even Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, He ate all the offered food. Let me take shelter of the place known as Annakūṭa, where Lord Kṛṣṇa enjoyed these pastimes.”
