This is a very short but very very sweet song. Meera talks to Krishna, her master. She always
considers herself as Krishna's maidservant and slave.
She talks about how Krishna saves everyone and why He is the only one who can save her now.
Krishna protected Draupathi when she was defenseless in front of Duchchathana. Draupathi was
losing her saree and though everyone was there, nobody came to her help. Nobody came to
protect her modesty. Draupati had 5 husbands, not just one. And, all of her five husbands were
present in that place when this cruelty was inflicted on her. And yet, none of them helped her.
The great Bhishma was there. The great guru Drona was there. The great guru Krupa was there.
And yet, nobody helped her. She called out to Krishna. And, though Krishna was not even
physically present there at that time, yet, Krishna was the one who saved her. The moment
Draupati called out to Krishna, her saree began to grow and grow. Finally a tired Dhuchchathana
fell down, not able to do the task he started to do.
