Kl52. The Queens Of Krishna Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

Pandavas came to meet Krishna,
Headed by King Yudhisthira,
With Draupadi their consort,
In His comfortable resort.

Draupadi, to meet the queens went.
With them some time she spent
To know what was their inside story
Of Krishna they wanted to marry?

The Chief of them, Rukmini,
Narrated her story to Draupadi,
That Krishna was her choice,
Who kidnapped her by force.

Satyabhama told her story,
That her father felt sorry,
When he knew the jewel,
Syamantaka, Krishna didn't steal

The old bear, Jambavan,
Kept the jewel as his own,
After several days fight,
From him Krishna took it.

Jambavati, the bear's daughter,
Krishna was glad to marry her,
Thus His wife, she became,
As His servant there she came.

Kalindi said, Krishna she loved,
When He met her she bowed
And told Him of her intention,
That brought their wedlock union.

At the selection ceremony held,
All the princes were assembled.
Mitravinda away was carried,
And her, this way, He married.

With seven bulls Krishna fought,
And the hands of Satya he caught,
A condition what her father laid,
To marry what the price He paid.

Krishna, her maternal uncle's son,
His mercy, Bhadra somehow won,
Her marriage with Him was done,
With pomp and show, one fine morn.

When Laksmana's turn came,
To mention it she felt no shame,
That Krishna, her husband's name,
Was the Hero, who won the game.

The fish, on the top, at one stroke,
He shot, in two pieces it broke,
Its was seen in water down below,
He aimed dead sharp that arrow.

It was a condition to win her,
But none shot an arrow proper.
Krishna did this and won,
To the surprise of everyone.

The Queen Rohini finally told
How Demon Bhanasura was killed
Kings' daughters Krishna released
How all the sixteen thousand?

They married Krishna, their Saviour,
Who was second to none, as a Warrior.
At His lotus feet they spent their days,
And enjoyed their lives in so many ways.
