This song describes the mischief of young Lord Krishna, as the gopis describe to his mother Yashoda, wife
of King Nandagopa (the father of young Sri krishna). The young krishna who is the Supreme Lord, is also
the darling of the gOpees and pet of the masses of brindhavan and/ or gOkulam, the vrajpuri, [the village

aayarpadi in tamil language]. The gopis together say: Oh Mother Yashoda, listen to the antics of your
Gopalakrishnan who created the Universe with his Maya (illusion).

P: Oh mother (“tAyE”) yasodha! Please listen to (“kELaDi”) the mischievous plays and tricks
(“jAlattai”) that your son (“undan mAyan”), this krishna (“gOpAlakrSNan”) plays (“sheyyum”) on us
(“sheyyum”), who is born in your vraj kulam (“Ayar kulat-uditta”).

This is the first address to the judge. The case is made out first highlighting the damage it has created not
only to the direct recipients, the gopees, or the directly affected, but the entire clan [aayar kulam- vrajpuri
vaasis] connected with krishna the defendant. Also added, is the kulam is not ours, but, "oh, yasOdha, oh
mother, oh Judge! it is yours" thus including the judge herself with the complainants. Now a "close feeling"
is induced while addressing the judge as "oh mother".

Sahityam: tAyE yashOdE undan Ayar kulattuditta
P: Oh mother (“tAyE”) yasodha! (your son) who is born in your vraj kulam (“Ayar kulat-uditta”).

Sahityam: mAyan gOpAlakrSNan sheyyum jAlattai kELaDi
Please listen to (“kELaDi”) the mischievous plays and tricks (“jAlattai”) that your son (“undan mAyan”), this krishna
(“gOpAlakrSNan”) plays (“sheyyum”) on us (“sheyyum”),

A: Oh young lady (“taiyalE”), please hear (“kELaDi”), I have not seen such a mischievous
(“ammamma nAn kaNDadillai”) boy (“oru piLLai”) equal to (“pOlavE”) your (“undan”) son
(“paiyanai”) krishna in this world (“inda vaiyaghattil”). Oh, what an extent of nuisance from him.

Since Mother yasOdha [and Judge] is also a young lady, and, whenever a woman is addressed "oh, you!
Young woman" irrespective of her age, she feels more proud even though it is direct flattery. This
psychology is also used while addressing the judge by calling her "thaiyalE" meaning- "oh dear young
lady". Next is "Please hear. I have not seen another boy like your son in this world". Yes. It is true that
there is no one equal to my krishna in this world. That is a fact. How can this young gOpi could find an
equal to my krishna. This fact is put very nicely by an exclamation, even though it is in the nature of a
naughty comment to the judge.

Sahityam: taiyalE kELaDi undan paiyanai pOlavE
A: Oh young lady (“taiyalE”), please hear (“kELaDi”), I have not seen such a mischievous (“ammamma nAn kaNDadillai”) boy
(“oru piLLai”) equal to (“pOlavE”) your (“undan”) son (“paiyanai”) krishna

Sahityam: inda vaiyaghattil oru piLLai ammamma nAn kaNDadillai
… I have not seen such a mischievous (“ammamma nAn kaNDadillai”) boy (“oru piLLai”) in this world (“inda vaiyaghattil”). Oh,
what an extent of nuisance from him.

caraNam 1: Wearing thick anklets (shilambu) on his feet (kaal), bangles (vaLai) on his hands (kai),
pearl (muttu) necklackes (maalai-gaL) swaying (ashaiya), he came (vandaan) outside. With his hands
and feet moving, blue Krishna danced (narttanam). Thinking he was a boy (baalan), I leapt (taavi) to
embrace him (anaittEn). Your son isn't a boy at all, who does this great mischief. He came (vandaan)
out on the street (vaasal) with jingling sounds of the anklets (shilambu) on his feet (kaal), bangles (valai)
wriggling and making noise in the wrists (kai - hand), the pearl (muttu) necklaces (maalaigaL) just
swaying (ashaiya) on the chest. His hands and legs followed a rythmic pattern and this beautiful
Krishna danced (narttanam aaDinaan) in the street. Seeing such a beautiful young boy (or child? -
baalan) I leapt (taavi) to embrace him (aNaittEn). But to the one who embraced him, me (yennai), like a
husband (maalai iTTavan - one who garlanded) he planted a kiss (muttam) on my lips (vaayil)!
Yashoda, your son (un magan) is no boy - who plays all these tricks. I feel ashamed in front of others for
this kind of embarrassment he gave me. I feel very bad, when many people hear this, what they will think
about me, for what he did without my consent.

caraNam 2: (Complaint by the second gopi) Oh Judge! The other day some two guests visited our place, in
this aaippadi. These guests were our honoured ones. They, after taking food, were in sound sleep on the
pyol in front verandah of our house. KaNNan [or krishnan] came that side and saw them sleeping. At that
time kaNNan finished eating some quantity of butter and had balance butter in his hands. He applied all
the balance butter in the mouths of the sleeping guests and quickly vanished from that place. When we
found the butter missing in the containers in the house, we went in search of the person who stole the
butter. But unfortunately our honoured guests were caught. They felt ashamed because they did not steal.
We also know they will not do such an act. Actually kaNNan ate the butter. But the guests were blamed for

having stolen the butter since butter was in their mouths as a result of KaNNan's act. Oh what a mischief?
Our king Nandhagopa did what kind of penance to have such a mischievous child. On this, what we can do
except to complaint to you or appeal to you?

caraNam 3: Gopi no 3 says "Oh mother yasOdha! My daughter- in- law joined our family to enjoy and
have a happy married life, thus making a meaningful life. This girl was going to river yamuna. Krishna saw
her going and without giving way for any trace of doubt, led her to some place and spent lot of time with
her. She could not resist his calling, because of the hypnotic power of krishna's lotus eyes. She just obeyed
those powerful eyes and followed him. Both came back at the dead of night. Then he told me "Oh mother, I
am your son, without any talking or creating obstruction, please give me butter of sufficient quantity". I
also obliged. All people of brindhaavan - this aaippaadi, who have young daughters to be married, have
fear about krishna after this incident. Please, Oh Judge! Tell me what we can do against this krishna?

See the usage of words- pankayak kaNNaal mayakki- hypnotises using the lotus eyes - his kataaksham -
from those powerful eyes- is thrown on that girl, a lucky girl indeed. Can we have that bhaagyam, Oh
krishna, of your direct kataaksham!

caraNam 4: Gopi no 4 says "In the cradle my child was sleeping. Krishna came that side and pinched
heavily my child. The child, due to pain, cried a lot. As a reward for this mischievous act, he stole and ate
lot of butter from my house. After a while, he saw the young calf tied to the post in the cowshed in my
house. That calf was let loose by kaNNan and it went away. Then he tied that rope [used in tying the calf]
round his neck. He went near the milching cow and started making noise "ammaa" "ammaa" as though he
was the calf of our cow. That cow also thought he was the calf and started milking. He drank the milk like a
calf [in the same way how a calf will drink milk from the cow] (ootturaanadi is the word used here by Sri
OVS swamy). Oh! what an amount of trouble with this krishna. Please, Oh judge! Punish him adequately
so that he will not repeat such acts."

caraNam 5: One day krishna came to me, started circling me as though he wants a favour from me. He
asked the route to auntie's house. I told him to the extent, I could make the communication clear. Then also
he hesitated. Afterwards he asked the route to go to riverbank. That also I told him to the best of my ability.
Next he asked me very cleverly one thing which made me shy. He asked me a kiss and made a big noise for
that. See yasOdha, you have given him that many leniency. He is not to be blamed. You have brought up the
child so badly.

caraNam 6: Krishna asked for butter. I gave it. He asked for some more. Again I gave it to him. Repeatedly
he asked for more and I continued to give it to him without much resistance. He ate all the butter, and then
started asking, with a wink in the eyes, for the hand of my daughter in marriage. He started dancing, so
nicely, then that I was awestruck. Suddenly he kicked some dust into my eyes and ran away with my
daughter. Another day he came to me and started playing flute. I enjoyed his music but he started teasing
me for that. Oh! krishna is a nuisance to all girls in the aaippaadi. It will be a crore of good deeds, oh
yasOdha! if you punish this krishna. Oh! what a mischievous child this krishna is!

caraNam 7: Day before yesterday, he came near me like a close relative of mine and started playing in
several new ways. Then he started teasing me by catching my "pallu" the edge of my sari. "Give a ball of
butter otherwise I will neither leave you nor this", said krishna. That vaasudevan is this person standing
here. Oh! YasOdha! Since he is a young child, I pulled him near me and took him on my lap. I also enjoyed
his beautiful face, as though he is my own son- at that moment he showed all the three worlds. Oh! What a
sight! Oh! Krishna and yasodha! Hey, you are blessed.

Since it is only information to Yasodha about showing the world, krishna does not argue in defense to this
complaint in the song "illai illaiyamma".
