Story Play (Attakkatha): 
Characters: 

Sloka:

The beautiful moon-faced wife of the Brahmin, who is good-natured and sweet-talking, gave birth with great hopes. Her nurse happily moved to pick up the baby. Then the Brahmin’s wife found that there was no baby and started crying.

O Krishna, the ocean of mercy, did you cheat Arjuna

because of we helpless people?

O Supreme Lord, if your sister’s daughter

becomes a widow, would you like it?

 

The baby born with great glory was

taken by God before it touched the earth.

Even the body wasn’t found, Arjuna’s wow didn’t work

can anyone change what fate has in store?

 

My maids, please go soon and tell what

has happened to my worried husband

who is standing outside praying to

Krishna, and also to Arjuna.
