Krishna Leela
Many references to Krishna's divine plays as mentioned in Thiruppugazh have been discussed in an earlier post. In fact the entire Mahabharatham can be described as Krishna's Leela. In this post, however, we are discussing only the childhood leela s as mentioned in Thiruppugazh. The first Leela is Krishna being tied to the mortar ( உரல் ).
