gopāla cālīsā

Forty couplets that run the whole life in order and then do not stop when it ends. Putana comes with poison and is sent to his own abode; Trinavarta and the cart-demon; earth eaten in play and the worlds shown inside the mouth; butter taken house by house; the mortar dragged until the twin trees fall; Brahma stealing the calves and the boys, and Krishna becoming all of them; Kaliya subdued and the forest fire drunk down; the hill lifted on a fingernail; Nanda fetched back out of Varuna's world; the autumn moon, the flute, the rasa. Then Mathura and Kamsa, the parents let out of prison, Sandipani's school, and Uddhava sent back to Vraja to forget everything he knew at the sight of their love. Only after all that does it widen to the other avataras and to the sinners who were saved. It is signed by Jayaramdev.
