Word

Pralamba

Sanskrit

In General

While the Gopalas were playing once under the shade of a giant peepal tree called Bhandiraka an Asura known as Pralamba joined their games disguised as a Gopala. Krishna and Balabhadra understood the trick. They made all the others take the following pledge, i.e. that all of them would beat one another, and the vanquished should carry about the victor on his head. The beating began, and the Gopa called Sridaman defeated Krishna. Vrsabha defeated Bhadrasena and Balabhadra defeated Pralamba.
