Yamuna in most of the scriptures was not a very happy lady. In SK she is mentioned to be Krishna's Patraani, probably in connection to her manifesting as Kalindi devi later on.
That song is really amazing where Yamuna matches her resolve to touch Krishna's feet to Krishna's jest! 😆
Overall the parity between the swollen and overflowing conditions of the river and the distraught but ecstatic state of Yamuna ji herself is too beautiful to not mention here! ❤️
Yamuna here is played by Pinky Parikh who also played Rukmini later on.
Yamuna's pleas hit home as she says:
Kitna roop dhare hai tumne Kanhai,
Kisi Avataar mein meri sudh na aayi!
It is one common complaint that all devotees have against their Lords and it is frankly one of the purest and most overwhelming feeling you can have!
And then Krishna's such a cute reply:
Hey Praanpriyaa Yamuna, Hum dete hain vachan!
Baar baar tere tat par aayenge,
Murali bajayenge, gauen charaayenge,
Prem-leela, raas-leela yahin pe rachenge!
Phir Yamuna's such a heartwarming plea:
Der na karnaa main baat takungi!
Bhool na jaana, main baat takungi! 😭
True as she says, if you will love, then love so much ke he owes you one otherwise don't love at all! 😆
PS her costume's such a gem, Pinky ji looks soo heavenly!
Yamuna always has had such a sweet bond with Kanha and she indeed was Krishna's fourth patrani (atleast for us). Yamunaji is considered to be Krishna's favourite (after Laxmiji ofc)
This reminded me of the countless bhajans and stutis on them!

Haan! That's so sweet ❤️
Yamunaji is supposed to be our Isht Devi so there are a LOT of stutis for the goddess, the most important being the Yamunashtak.😳
Edited by Mannmohanaa - 3 years agoHer another name is Kalindi also. She is also the daughter of Surya. She is the fourth patrani of Krishna but Yamunaji the daughter of Surya is beloved of Shri Krishna and not the wedded wife. She is the fourth Swamini.
Radha is the First beloved of Shri Krishna (Radha is the reverse of Dhara). Dhara takes away the being from Lord Shiva due to its TRIGUNATMA character. On the contrary Radha with the strength of Bhakti and Samarpan makes atma meet parmatma. Second beloved of Krishna is Gopanga.
Third beloved of Krishna is “ Ananya Purva ” a daughter of Rishi who did Katyani Vrat.
Yamunaji had emerged from the heart of Surya Narayan and landed at Mount Kalindi. She had flown on the earth for the benefit of its disciples to have Bhakti Bhav.
Yamunashtak:

Phew this is long! But these are my favorite verses. This is also translated into Gujarati and that's very cute
Yamuna Stuti:
Shri Krishna Na Charanarvind Ni Raj Thaki Shobhi Rahya,
Siddhi Alaukik Aapnara Vundu Shri Yamunajine,
Supushpa Ni Suvas Thi Jungle Badhu Meheki Rahyu,
Ne Mand Shital Pavan Thi Jal Pan Sugandhit Thai Rahyu,
Puje Surasur Sneh Thi Vali Sevata Daivi Jivo,
Vandan Karu Shri Yamunajine Shri Krishna Aashraya Aapjo
And apart from this Mara Ghat Ma Viraajta is also famous, Pro I think you already know it😆
