There is no dancing arena that he cannot tread, no point where his steps can falter and no stage limitation that he cannot transcend. His life does not get bound by any rules and he is free, limitlessly free. The music and dance of this Lord truly exemplified the dancer enacting the world drama, in a trance.įirstly, Krishna symbolises acceptance of all ‘opposites’ together. A corollary to the philosophical axioms hidden in the text can however be drawn from the life sketch of Krishna.
The favourite protagonist in our dance forms, Sri Krishna, does not find a mention in Natya Sastra, the text having pre-dated the era of this incarnation.
