• Kamyavana is the fourth among the twelve forests of Braj Mandal and it is one of the topmost forests. The fortunate person who circumambulates this forest is revered within Braj dham.
• "O Maharaja, thereafter lies Kamyavana, where Brajendra nandana Shri Krishna performed many childhood pastimes. Bathing in Kama and other ponds in this forest fulfils all kinds of desires, even the desire for service to Krishna that is imbued with prema."
• The word Kama can only really be used to denote the gopis prema for Shri Krishna. In other words, the pure prema of the gopis exists solely to give Krishna happiness, and does not carry even the slightest scent of worldly lust. In the scriptures it is only this prema that is referred to as kama. The pure prema of the gopis is wholly opposite to the lusty desires in this world. The only aim of the gopis kama, which is devoid of all varieties of such lust, is to give happiness to Krishna, the abode of prema. Therefore, Shrimad-Bhagvatam and other scriptures refer to the pure and unadulterated prema of the gopis as kama. Kamyavana is the pastime place where the Divine Couple Shri Radha-Krishna express such transcendental prema. In this forest, one can even attain, quite easily, the gopis genuine prema in the form of pure kama, what to speak of being able to fulfil all kinds of worldly desires.
• The word Kamya means "extremely beautiful", "well adorned" or "highly attractive". This forest within Braja Mandal is a most charming pastime place of Sri Krishna. Many pleasant lakes, wells, ponds, trees, creepers, flowers, fruits and species of birds contribute to its extraordinary beauty. Hence, it is called Kamyavan.
