The first part `Nari vasanapahari' showed a mischievous Krishna and thesecond part `Nari vasanopahari' narrated Krishna's compassion towards Draupadi. Arathy along with Krishna and Parvathy, two other disciples of her guru, presented `Sadhimchane' in raga Arabhi and Adi tala. The three of them excelled in this Pancharatna kriti by Tyagaraga that provided ample scope for them to perform with tala and bhava.
