Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 1 Chapter 1 Text 7

govardhano jayati śaila-kulādhirājo
yo gopikābhir udito hari-dāsa-varyaḥ
kṛṣṇena śakra-makha-bhaṅga-kṛtārcito yaḥ
saptāham asya kara-padma-tale ’py avātsīt

TRANSLATION
All glories to Govardhana, the emperor of lordly mountains! The Lord’s dear gopīs called him the best servant of Hari, Lord Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa disrupted the sacrifice for worship of Indra to worship Govardhana instead, and then the hill resided for a week on the Lord’s lotus palm.
