Brief story: “Srikrishna Leelamrutham” is an interesting historical episode. The first scene starts with the entry of Srikrishna and Srivijaya.
Then Demons, Shakata and Dhenu enter to do mischief to spoil the serene atmosphere as ordered by Kamsa. Srikrishna intervenes and kills them.
Then the venomus Serpent Kalinga appears in River Yamuna to trouble the creatures living there.
Again, the serpent was killed by Srikrishna.
Finally, Balarama and Srikrishna raid the Mathura Kingdom and slain the wicked Kamsa.
