Arangetram Imran & Kimberly: Enna Thavam Seithenai (Padam)

PADAM - ENNA THAVAM SEITHENAI Ragam: Kapi Talam: Adi Composer: Shri Papanasam Sivan What penance did you do, O Yashoda? For the Omnipresent Parabrahmam to call you “Amma”. He who created the fourteen worlds, you carried and cuddled, nursed and put to bed…O what penance did you do? Brahma and Indra were jealous of you, especially when you tied him to the mortar and made him shut his mouth, only to plead and cry…O what penance did you do? Sanaka and sages did rear penance to obtain that which you, O pure lady, so easily received…O what penance did you do? The dancer elaborates this piece with many small episodes from the life of Sri Krishna as a little boy.
