Oh! Krishna what prevents you from protecting us? What prevents you from coming to our rescue.
When Madura was deluged you had Rukmini by your side to remind you to protect, but now do you not have anyone by your side to remind you now or was it Garuda who complained about the far distance between Earth and Vaikunta and refuses to bring you to earth.
The finale is thrilling elaboration of Ragam Aberi inspired by the movie Tillana Mohanambal to the same song beautifully presented on the flute by Shri Ravichandra S. Kulur and sung by Smt. Neela Ramanuja and choreographed by Guru Suba Ramesh Parmar.
