Dvipada is a type of lyric. In this lyric Tyagaraja narrates the converstion
between Krishna and Gopikas.
Sri Krishna |
purushunDu lEkanE poobONulAra
taruNula kepuDaina tagadu sAhasamu ||
|
Oh beautiful Gopikas, women should not dare to go on
adventure without men's help.
|
Gopikas |
bhAmalu santOshapaDi yunDu vELa
kAmukuDachchOTa kArAdu krishNa
balimini sarasambu bAgukAdu sumi
kalanaina saukhyambu kalugadennaTiki
parakAntalanu choochi bhayaminta lEka
verri mATa balkEvu vEDkagA krishNa
|
Oh Krishna, when we want to spend time happily, you should not be there
as distraction for us. Forced fun is not good. We can not dream of any happiness by
taking you with us. Your words are silly and childish.
You are belittling women fearlessly.
|
Krishna |
meeku sEmambindu mikkili kalga
prAkaTambuga nEnu balkitini sunDi
|
I am advising you for your safety only.
|
Gopikas |
pasi bAluDavu neevu bhAramau teppa
SaSimukha jaripimpa Saktiyu galade?
|
You are just a child. You'll be burden to us.
Oh Krisna with moonlike face, are you capable
of rowing our boat?
|
Krishna |
nanuvinA truNamaina naDachunA yanuchu
vEdaSAstramulu morabeTTa vinare
jeevula pAlinchu Sri hari reeti
pAlanasEtunE bAga nAmanavi
AlakimpuDu meeru alivENulAra
|
Vedas and scriptures are proclaiming that even a grass blade
can not be moved without my will. I protect living beings as Sri Hari.
I could take care of thousands of cows well single handed. Oh beautiful
Gopikas, please listen to me.
