Kl41. The Gorilla Dvivida Killed Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

To avenge the death of Bhaumasura,
His friend, the gorilla Dvivida,
Created all kinds of nuisance,
And people feared his presence.

Many villages and towns he burnt.
He crushed every one like an ant.
His strength was more than an elephant.
He uprooted many trees as a giant.

Day by day he became a terror,
People ran away here and there,
And passed every day in utter fear,
Expecting any day their death near?

Lord Balarama, in the company
Of singers and dancers many,
When enjoying music and dance,
This gorilla came there by chance.

As usual, he created disturbance,
That went beyond one's tolerance,
Between them ensued, a severe fight,
Each one showed his might.

The Lord gave a fatal blow at last,
And Dvivida breathed his last.
Thus, to an end, his trouble came.
People praised the Lord's name.
