Kl45. Krishna's Visit To Indraprastha Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

"Oh my dear Lord,
What Sage Narada said,
We should honour first
And act, it is a must."

"You must go to Hastinapura,
To satisfy King Yudhisthira,
And give your help to him,
For "Rajasuya" to perform."

"Also of the surrendered souls,
They would achieve their goals,
With your mercy and grace,
They're freed from the jail once."

"We must first kill Jarasandha,
As part of the "sacrifice Rajasuya",
Both the purposes in this manner,
Be served under a single banner."

This was how Uddhava advised,
When Krishna turned to his side,
And so the Lord finally decided
Towards Hastinapura to proceed.

With a full complement of army,
To meet any situation stormy,
Krishna reached Hastinapura,
Its other name being Indraprastha.

With all the pomp and gaiety,
Rose up the entire city,
At the gateway they received Him,
And gave Him a warm welcome.

His brothers Yudhisthira sent,
To all the directions they went,
Kings after kings they won,
And collected taxes from everyone.

But the sovereignty of Yudhisthira,
Wasn't accepted by King Jarasandha,
Who took their warning light.
With them he was ready to fight.
