ಉಕ್ತಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುಕ್ತಿಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್

{॥ ಉಕ್ತಿ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುಕ್ತಿಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್ ॥}
ಶ್ರೀವಾದಿರಾಜಯತಿ ಕೃತಮ್ ।
(By Shri Vadirajayati)
Note. This short poem consists of just three verses. The first two verses are
in the form of a conversation between a gopi woman and child Krishna.
In the first verse Krishna is teased by a gopi. Krishna is a child and
so is guileless. The words in His reply carry an alternate meaning.
The gopi cunningly uses this second meaning to tease Krishna and thus
the conversation goes on.
(ಉಕ್ತಿ = statement, ಪ್ರತ್ಯುಕ್ತಿ = statement in reply.)

Note:- The legend of Krishna is charming and had given rise to many
such poems that describe gopis teasing or talking to Krishna.
This one is from Sri Krishnakarnamritam. Here a gopi had caught Krishna
when He was trying to insert His hand into a vessel containing
butter. She starts questioning Him.

ಕಸ್ತ್ವಂ ಬಾಲ! ಬಲಾನುಜಃ, ಕಿಮಿಹ ತೇ? ಮನ್ಮನ್ದಿರಾಶಙ್ಕಯಾ,
ಯುಕ್ತಂ, ತನ್ನವನೀತ-ಪಾತ್ರವಿವರೇ ಹಸ್ತಂ ಕಿಮರ್ತಂ ನ್ಯಸೇಃ?
ಮಾತಃ! ಕಞ್ಚನ ವತ್ಸಕಂ ಮೃಗಯಿತುಂ ಮಾ ಗಾಃ ವಿಷಾದಂ ಕ್ಷಣಾತ್
ಇತ್ಯೇವಂ ವರವಲ್ಲವೀ ಪ್ರತಿವಚಃ ಕೃಷ್ಣಸ್ಯ ಪುಷ್ಣಾತು ನಃ ॥

Gopi:- ಕಸ್ತ್ವಂ ಬಾಲ! = O boy! who are you?
Krishna:- ಬಲಾನುಜಃ = I am the brother of Balarama.
Gopi:- ಕಿಮಿಹ ತೇ? = what do you want here?
Krishna: ಮನ್ಮನ್ದಿರಾಶಙ್ಕಯಾ = (I entered) mistaking
this to be my house.
Gopi:- ಯುಕ್ತಂ ತತ್ = it is OK.ನವನೀತ-ಪಾತ್ರವಿವರೇ ಹಸ್ತಂ
ಕಿಮರ್ತಂ ನ್ಯಸೇಃ? = (but) why did you keep your hand in the vessel having butter?
Krishna:- ಮಾತಃ! O mother! ಕಞ್ಚನ ವತ್ಸಕಂ ಮೃಗಯಿತುಂ =
(it is) to look for a calf,
ಮಾ ಗಾಃ ವಿಷಾದಂ ಕ್ಷಣಾತ್ = do not get upset (so fast) in a second.
ಇತ್ಯೇವಂ ವರವಲ್ಲವೀ ಪ್ರತಿವಚಃ ಕೃಷ್ಣಸ್ಯ ಪುಷ್ಣಾತು ನಃ = let
such words of Krishna given in reply to the good gopi woman protect us.
॥ ಇತಿ ಶ್ರೀವಾದಿರಾಜಯತಿ ಕೃತಮ್ ಉಕ್ತಿ-ಪ್ರತ್ಯುಕ್ತಿ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಮ್ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣಮ್ ॥
