It is considered to be the most significant work after Charyapada in the history of Bengali literature.These verses are believed to be written in the pre-Chaitanya era of the later half of 14th century CE.Since the punthi was found shorn of its pages including the opening and ending ones, its original name could not be ascertained.
A slip inside the punthi reveals that it was initially preserved in the royal library of Bishnupur under the name of Sri Krishna Sandarva. However, the punthi, edited and rechristened as Shreekrishna Kirtana by Bidvatballava, was published by Vangiya Sahitya Parishad in 1916. The influence of other Puranas like the Padma Purana and the Brahma Vaivarta Purana and the Vaishnava scriptures is also substantial. There is a strong affinity of popular folk literature of the time in the style of the verse. Among these 418 verses, 409 verses have the name of the author in them. The first sub-section is Kaliya Damana khanda (coercion of Kaliya, the snake-demon section), and the third sub-section is Hara khanda (necklace section). The name of the second sub-section has not been found in the manuscript, but its subject matter is Radhas vastraharana (stealing Radhas robes). ![]() Three characters, Krishna, Radha and Badayi, the messenger interrelate the plot of the play. Dialogues and counter-dialogues in payar and tripadi meters have added to the dramatic quality of Sri Krishna Kirtana. He gives the yearning of Radha a distinctly Bengali rendition, and in the process captures much of the social conditions of the day.
