Janabai was a devotee of Lord Panduranga(Vitthala). Panduranga helped janabai with her work and she always chanted Vitthala. She use to make Goitha(cow dung cake) to prepare food for the devotees of Lord Vitthala.
Kabir Das ji had heard many stories
about Janabai like, Vitthala personally comes to her in daily basis and help her in work and many more. And also he was very eager to get Darshan of such a great saint Janabai. But when he came he saw she was engaged in a big fight with a lady over some goitha.
He was shocked that such a great Vaishnava, such a great Krishna devotee, was fighting over such a small matter. On meeting her, he asked why she was fighting over such a small matter?
Janabai replied,” This Goitha are not ordinary, while preparing these
I was chanting and singing Vitthala’s name. And these where used for preparing food for Krishna’s devotees, than how can I let them go? That lady stole some of them and I was asking her to return them back”.
Saint Kabir Das ji was shocked and asked, “but how can you identify
your Goitha as she has mixed yours with her own. It is completely impossible to identify yours!”
Janabai smiled and said, “Kabir Das ji, there is a lot of difference, because mine is prepared with Vitthala’s name and had my love for my Lord. You can hear Lord
Vitthala’s name coming from these Goitha.”
Saint Kabir Das ji was surprised to hear this but he wanted to see it by himself. When he checked these Goitha he was shocked to hear Lord Vitthala’s name coming from those Goitha.
He was amazed and rejoiced that
he started dancing on hearing Vitthala’s name. He said to Janabai, “I really bow down at your love and devotion towards Lord Vitthala. You really are a great great devotee. Everything I heard about you, all the glories are completely

Anyone visiting old Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra is likely to know about the Panchganga Temple, the temple where the waters of five rivers - Koyna, Krishna, Veena, Savitri and Gayatri come together. But right behind the parking for the Panchaganga temple, there is a
small well marked trail which takes you to another temple well worth exploring the Krishnabai temple.
The path takes you through the woodland to a clearing at the side of a hill, and what has to be one of the more dramatic temple settings.
The temple is dedicated to Shiva,
and consists of an arcades court which was possibly open originally but later roofed over, with a high stone wall at the rear.
Here is the supposed source of the Krishna river, with direct parallels with the nearby Panchaganga Temple in having that water pass through a stone
