  Narayaneeyam Dashakam 61 - Vipra Patni Anugraham (Lord Krishna blessing Brahmanas ' wives) Click here to listen to  Dashakam 61 The Blessing of the Brahmins’ Wives In the enchanting forests of Vṛndāvana, Lord Krishna once set out with his companions, the cowherd boys, and their calves.

The waters flowed crystal clear. A gentle breeze moved through the trees, carrying the fragrance of blooming lotuses.  Krishna , accompanied by Balarama , the cows, and the cowherd boys, entered this serene forest, took shelter under a beautiful tree, stood cross-legged and started to play his flute.  The Music That Stilled the World The peacocks began to dance in ecstasy, spreading their vibrant feathers as though responding to thunderclouds.
