Transcript

Oh those breasts of yours…they are my earthen pitchers.
That long black hair of yours is my rope.
Oh the ripples of your love…that is where my Yamuna is.
My deepest desire is to immerse myself completely in that body of yours.
Hearing those lines, Krishna turned his flute into a black snake.
The snake hindered Radha’s way.
It coiled around her left foot and bit the right one.
Radha could barely walk.
She collapsed after a few steps.
She started calling out Krishna for help.
“Where are you, Krishna? Please give me a glimpse,” said Radha.
Please allow me one glimpse and save my life.
Krishna replied, “I am the guardian of the orphan.
I am the Lord of the helpless.
I can be a venomous snake and bite people.
Again, I can be a snake charmer and heal one’s snake bites.
I am the Lord of the helpless.”
Lord Krishna comes to Radha’s aid and asks her to tell him honestly how severe has been the poisonous pang.
The poison gets removed and Radhika regains consciousness.
Hearing Krishna’s words, Radha finally wakes up to find herself all alone.
She sees her husband, Ayaan Ghosh standing in front of her.
She wonders…the dark bud (Krishnakali) has finally become one with Banamali (one who wears garlands made from wild flowers).
But to preserve the sanctity of Radha’s marriage to Ayaan Ghosh, and to keep her away from Krishna, her mother-in-law Jatila and her sister-in-law Kutila start hatching plans.
