Always Up To Some Prank Poem by Narsinh Mehta

Always Up To Some Prank

Rating: 4.4


Always up to some prank, this mischievous little Govindji over there
It's always I who has to suffer!
As this little cowherd foolishly totters, the girl becomes fervid!
Always up to some prank, this mischievous little Govindji over there
It's always I who has to suffer!

‘Kum now yoo, vow eye doo', if you can't speak properly why do you babble like this?
Says Narsaiyyo, stop all these childish pranks, just take us to your place, and enjoy us!
Always up to some prank, this mischievous little Govindji over there
It's always I who has to suffer!

I'm don't feel well enough versed in Hindu deities and scripture and practices to feel I'm getting all out of this piece that I might, but I largely feel like it doesn't matter either. There's a universality to this that transcends the specific Hindu references. The prankster is an omnipresent type in every cultural and society. Both an irritant and an amusing diversion. And pranksters often rely on a familiar set of tricks over and over in variations but essential of a limited repertoire. The form of this poem, or devotional, puts into play that kind of repetition to good effect. This piece brings a smile of recognition to my face while also reminding me of the inherent pain in the buttocks this behavior and personality always elicits. And from there the greater generalizations of the lessons of the prankster we can learn to apply to our life as a whole.
