A Gopi (milk maid) in Vrindavan (place of Lord Krishna) say to her mother, \"Oh mother, Lord Krishna (Banavaaree = the God of Forests) is my beloved, who plays cheerfully with his many female friends. With his divine flute, he pleases everyone and make me (the composer \'Amar\', i.e. Ustad Aman Ali Khan of Bhendibazar Gharana) crazy!\"
