Kritis on Devaki

Post by Athira Sankar »

Namaskaram....

I would like to know if there any kritis about Devaki being the main theme. Similar to Jagadhodharana song where Yashoda is the central character. Are there any compositions describing Devaki.. Kindly guide me, if available.
Thank You..

Talking about the bhagavatham based compositions
We can see a lot of composition linking lord Krishna and maa yashoda.

But maa devaki can be mostly seen as refrence in Krishna themed compositions

On such refrence can be found in Thyagarajar's sadinchane krithi

There is a decad ( ten verses ) of Kulasekharazhwar, titled is "the lament of Devaki for missing all the Bala Leelas of Kannan", where he speaks as Devaki, rueing her own poor fortunes, that she missed all the joys of bringing up Krishna and watching all his Leelas. It begins with the words "Alai nIL karumbannavan tAlO".
