Story Play (Attakkatha):
Hey the offspring of Kunthi, why would you mourn? The ever so handsome Vasudeva (Krishna) would come to your aid in future
Hey the God of death for ferocious foes, Bheem Sen, listen to me. This demoness beauty loves you earlier itself
The one who desires a lady who does not desire back – and the one who ignores a lady who desires – both are fools in the world – for sure, know that
Due to that – till this beauty acquires a son, be with her – and that’s my instruction
