Devarnāma, Mella Mellane: Part 4
Repertoire
•
14m
A comical Devaranama that is addressed to Yashoda. Here the Gopika is upset with all the troubles that Krishna is causing and attempts to explain to Yashoda how inappropriately Krishna is behaving. Yashoda pays no heed and doesn’t believe what the Gopika is saying even when the evidence points otherwise.
