Astami

Gopastami, Gosthastami
Gopasthami is the day that Lord Sri Krishna first starts taking the calves out to graze. Once they grow into cows, Sri Krishna starts tending the cows because they won't go to pasture with anyone except Sri Krishna. Gostha is the place where the Brijabasis live, so Gosthastami means that on this day in celebration of these occasions, the Brijabasis hold a big festival.

Odana means to cover. There is always starch in new clothes that caused Pundarik Vidyanidhi one time to say: "How come that they are putting starch, starch is impure!" That same night both Jagannath deva and Baladeva prabhu came and punched him so much that his cheeks became swollen. They said: "They are giving to us, so how can it be impure?"
