Krishna and his disciples perform a holy drama (lila) called Man Lila (bhakta).
One of Krishna's female friends feigns injured pride (man)
in this lila, generally as a result of his making a mistake, such as calling
her by another woman's name.
She pretends to be upset for a while, but soon succumbs to
his charm and undivided attention.
In Sanskrit poetry, the idea of a lady pretending to be
angry in order to have her lover flatter and fawn over her and sweeten the
delight of the final reunion has a long history.
This lila is often performed in devotional theatrical
performances, which are also called as lilas ("plays"), since its
purpose is to display the divine's labor.
