520			_a‘O Krishna, O Son! Why did you go away? Why did you pledge to return, and never did? Did I fail you as a mother?’ wails Yashoda. She is inconsolable, and grieves for the rest of her life. Markanda Das, a 15th Century Odia poet, wrote Keshava Koili, a poignant poem voicing Yashoda’s agony. The iconic song, popular even today, became a metaphor for separation and sorrow, loss and lament. In this book, the author provides a lucid translation along with perceptive elucidation to highlight how the poem transcends Yashoda’s personal grief to become a sublime prayer.
