Goda is giving us the mantra to read him, showing the route to tread to reach, and scheme to achieve Him. He is very dear and very nearer to us as He resides in us or we reside in Him. If you step out to reach Him, he rushes to meet your extended hand. Aayana reflects all divine and special qualities and characters of Krishna. He bears all of them, resides in each iota of Nature. NAARA + AAYANA is a combination of two expressions. Come let us go and invoke Him asking for an instrument of music to sing in His praise. Let the mission to reach Him begin in universally acceptable way. He is the Vratha and purpose of the Vrata. Narayana is the journey and the destination too. Krishna, the cub in the lap of Yashoda, who shines like cloud and rains blessings like a kind cloud. He came to be with us like a simple innocent cowherd.

Serene nature of our village reminds us the Vrepalle, where the spear wielding Nanda King standing to protect his son Krishna to ward off the sudden attacks of demons sent by Kamsa.

Even God likes to come down and enjoy the breeze on banks of Yamuna in Brindavan. Paashuram 29 is Mangalaashasanam, praying for peace and well being of Lord and final Paashuram 30 explaining the blessings and serene consequences of Vratha after its successful completion. Part III has two sections, (i) Paashuram 16 to 20 renders suprabhatam for Lord Krishna in his father’s palace, while next section (ii) from verse 21 to 28 fills with the description of His Guna and Vaibhava, the glory and beauty of divine Krishna referring to his adventures in destroying the evil forces and establishing righteousness.

She praises the glory of beautiful and enchanting nature of the season, different creatures enriching the dawn and through that Creation and the Creator is invoked.
