Guest guest Posted April 25, 1998 Report Share Posted April 25, 1998 BUTTER THIEF BEGS FOR MILK ! Let us enjoy a scene from Srimad Bhagavatam depicting the pranks of Baby Krishna. A dialogue between mother Yasoda and her baby Krishna goes on as follows:- Krishna: Maathah! Mother! Yasoda: Kim Yadhunaatha? What, Yadhunatha? Krishna: Dehi Chuchukam! Give me you breast! Yasoda: Kim Thena? What for? Krishna: Paathum Paya! To drink milk! Yasoda: Tad Naasthi Adhya! No way today! Krishna: Kadaasthi Vaa? Then, when? Yasoda: Nisi! At night! Krishna: Nisaa Kaa Vaa? What is night? Yasoda: Andhakaarodhaye! When darkness comes! Aameelya Akshi Yugam "Nisaapi Upagathaa Dehee" Iti Mathur Muhur Vaksoja Ambara Karshanabhyuta Karah" Krishnastu Pushnaatu Naha // Closing both his eyes, Krishna says - "Nightly darkness has come, Give me Here and Now" and drags Yasoda’s upper garments with his hands - demanding milk ! Let such hands of Krishna nourish us -concludes the Sloka. ================================================================= PRANAYA KALAHAM Now let us enjoy another scene - from "Veni Samharam" of Bhatta Narayana - a Raasakreeda scene of the youthful Krishna in a Pranaya kalaha with his beloved Radhika ================================================================== Kaalindhyah Pulineshu Kelee Kupithaam Utsrujya Raase Rasam Gachchantheem AnuGachchataha Asru Kalushaam Kamsadvisho Raadhikaam Tad Paada Pratima Nivesita Padasya Uthbootha Romothgathe Akshunno Anunayah Prasanna Dhayitha Drishtasya Pushnaathu Vaha// ================================================================== Krishna who is in deep love with Radhika comes to the banks of River Kaalindi to play Rasakreeda with her. Probably because he had not turned up on time or perhaps he was playing with other Gopis, Radha was furious and left the sands in a jiffy (may be sportively : Kelee Kupithaam), having lost her interest in the sport. Poor Krishna !. He - who vanquished the mighty Kamsa - found himself helpless in pacifying her ! All he could do was to follow her. You know how ?. As he followed, he placed his feet on the sands exactly on the footprints of Radha and showed how thrilled he was and even demonstrated his horripilation with tears flowing from his eyes ! Radha turns back and sees this predicament of Krishna and could not bear to see her beloved Krishna's suffering anymore. She casts her loving, longing glance at Krishna. Thus, ended the ‘Pranaya Kalaham’. "May the lovely glances of Radheshyaam nourish us" says Bhatta Narayana. ======================================================================== Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
