Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma’s Forest Games and the Slaying of Pralamba
कृष्णस्य नृत्यत: केचिज्जगु: केचिदवादयन् । वेणुपाणितलै: शृङ्गै: प्रशशंसुरथापरे ॥ १० ॥
kṛṣṇasya nṛtyataḥ kecij jaguḥ kecid avādayan veṇu-pāṇitalaiḥ śṛṅgaiḥ praśaśaṁsur athāpare
当克里希纳起舞时,有些牧童为他歌唱伴奏,有些吹笛、击手钹、吹水牛角号,另一些则赞叹他的舞姿。
Wanting to encourage Śrī Kṛṣṇa, some of the cowherd boys openly praised His dancing.
This verse shows the Vraja boys serving Kṛṣṇa spontaneously by singing, playing instruments, clapping, and praising Him—devotion expressed as joyful kīrtana and participation in His līlā.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī narrates these Vṛndāvana pastimes to Mahārāja Parīkṣit, describing how the cowherd boys accompanied Kṛṣṇa’s dance.
Offer your talents—voice, instruments, rhythm, or simple heartfelt praise—in congregational chanting or personal worship, making devotion joyful and participatory like the Vraja gopas.
