senile mother-in-law. Thus He obtains Jatila's permission to sport with

driven away by Jatila and her foolish daughter Kutila.

 

THIRD PRANK

that her Daughterh-in-law Radharani is somehow or other meeting secretly

with Sri Krishna. Therefore she prohibits Sri Radha from going outside the

house at all. With the help of Her firlfriend Visakha, Radha pretends to

suffer from a deadly snakebite. Thereafter, Sri Krishna arrives in the

disguise of Vidyavali, the daughter of Garga Rsi who is adoctor specializing

in treatment of snakebites. Thus disguised as a young girl

doctor, He manages to spend the night with Sri Radhika in the prankish art

of curing Her.

 

FOURTH PRANK

MEETING IN THE DISGUISE OF A FEMALE SINGER - Sri Krishna, coming in the

disguise fo Kalavali, a girl singer, fails to propitiate the pouting huff

is a girl-cousing of Sri Radha. Thus, upon Jatila's strict order, the

reluctant Sri Radha is obliged to accept His companionship for the night.
