Commentary
- ’’’ This kriti is part of the Dance-Drama ‘Nauka Charitram’ – The Boat Story.’''
- Background - The Gopis meet Krishna at the Yamuna river and contemplate of travel in a boat. Krishna says that it is not within the capacity of the women to steer boat and says he will do the job; however, the Gopis do not believe Him and think that He is upto some trick. After Lord convinces them, the boat journey starts – this kriti describes the journey. This description is made by the celestial damsels watching the spectacle.
